West Ham No2 McKinlay: I've not see what Antonio said

West Ham United assistant manager Billy McKinlay insists there's no concerns facing Bristol City in tomorrow's FA Cup replay.

Injured striker Michail Antonio has complained about holding the tie during their winter break.

But McKinlay says: "I've not seen those quotes. The way they've structured the breaks is hybrid, so they struggle to fit the fixtures in, so I've not really looked too deeply into the fixture dates.

"The players play a lot of games and the fixture calendar is congested, but that's the way it is.

"Our players are certainly used to having this number of games and we're delighted we're progressing in so many competitions."
