Huddersfield defender Michael Hefele warns Premier League big names: Bring your shin guards!

Huddersfield Town defender Michael Hefele insists they won't be intimidated facing Premier League giants this season.

The Terriers kickoff their season against Crystal Palace.

Hefele told SID: "If a player costs 100 million and is standing next to you on the pitch, then you are fighting with the ball. And I will treat him as nicely as a player in the Championship. There is no consideration.

"I hope they have their shin guards! We'll be ready."

He added: "It was all a dream, now it's a reality. But we did not go up to say hello or take pictures, but to fight.

"We wrote the first chapters, now the next one comes."
