He began with a squad update: "It's pretty much as is. 'Wee Man' [Ryan Fraser] has trained for the last couple of days, but it's probably too early to be in the squad. Everyone else seems to be good." On Taylor Harwood-Bellis' England call-up: "It's brilliant for the club. For us, he's been huge. We've had a difficult start and in the last few weeks we've seen him grow a lot as a character and leader on the pitch. He has to keep improving - he's an extremely talented young man. I'm delighted for him." On summer signing Yukinari Sugawara: "I think he's been outstanding to adapt to a different culture and environment. The only thing that has disrupted his season is the knock against Leicester and the amount of travelling he does [with Japan during the international breaks]. It's hard for him to come back with freshness and energy. I think he's been amazing and is ready for the Premier League." Martin praised Aaron Ramsdale for his national team call-up as well as Tyler Dibling, who also earned his first call-up to England's Under-21 squad. On Wolves boss Gary O'Neil, who was Martin's team-mate during his playing days: "I look forward to catching up with him. I had a lot of time for him as a team-mate and as a person. I think he's done a great job and did great last season. I have no doubt they [Wolves] will hit their stride at some point." Martin dismissed the idea of Wolves being an easier match than others: "The challenge is always the same - to impose the game you want and be aware of the opposition threat. I'm sure Gary is preparing his team in the same way."
