Howe said this morning: "We're looking forward to the game. I just walked out the hotel for the first time since arriving last night and I was hit by the heat again, which we're looking forward to.

"Playing in this heat is extreme but we're honoured to be asked to play here and it's a privilege to play in this game against such a strong team.

"I know their level will be very, very high. We won't underestimate our opponents so we'll prepare as well as we can. We'll have our usual things in place to make sure that we know what's ahead."

 

Assessing Park

On new signing Park, Howe explained: "I think it's slightly unclear what's going to happen short term with him - we're going to have to make an assessment on where we see him fitting in the best currently.

"We've had only a very short term impression, one or two training sessions. It's been very positive so far - he seems like a very good person, fundamentally, and it's all new experiences for him but I sure he'll do very, very well. We're very keen to look at this is a future market for us, signing a similar profile of player, so this is hopefully the start.

"I'll do everything I can to try to get him on the pitch (on Wednesday) because I think that'll be important for him and of course everyone that wants to see him play. I'll certainly do my best. We've got lots of information we'll be giving him but I think it'll just be a case of go out and play his normal game and that will be good enough."
