Leeds United boss Daniel Farke has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Wolves at Elland Road (15:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Farke confirmed all the players who were fit for Monday's win at Manchester United are "at least today ready for Wolves".
On Joe Rodon, Anton Stach and Dan James, he added: "The first step is team training and today no-one is back in team training but we have two days, we can always have a surprise".
Reflecting on the big win at Old Trafford, Farke said: "We are pretty proud. We know how much it means to our fans. It was great to send them back with such an amazing win but as a group we have put a line under it. One of the highlights of the season. To be able to win but the manner of the performance too. We were aware how much this game means to our supporters."
He was asked about Noah Okafor, who scored twice against Manchester United, and rumours of a poor attitude before he signed in the summer: "No surprise he's got back into the Swiss squad. There was rumours before he signed but I can't say I've had that at all. He's improved and learned."
On Ao Tanaka's impressive recent displays: "Pretty happy with Ao's recent performances. Was good in the cup game and backed it up on Monday. We were always convinced he could deliver. He's not that young any more. It's his first season in top flight so he needed time to adapt and find consistency."
On Saturday's bottom-placed opponents: "I'm full of respect. When expectations are high, these are the most difficult games. If you look at their recent performances there is no reason not to be humble. Only disappointing result in recent months was last week's loss [against West Ham]."
On Jaka Bijol: "Jaka is a fantastic human being. He had a difficult period and had to wait after injury. He gave the penalty away versus Chelsea, but how he deals with setbacks - he stays focused and professional. He has a natural order to be a leader of men, always team before himself. Very important player, even if we had to wait. All happy with him. First season, still room to improve, but we're happy with him."

Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked for your views on Leeds manager Daniel Farke, after Kaiser Chiefs bassist Simon Rix assessed his time at the club on BBC Radio Leeds' Don't Go To Bed Just Yet podcast.
Here are some of your comments:
Ian: I agree with Mr Rix. Farke has done well in the Premier League with basically a Championship team and think he's earned the chance to take us onwards and upwards.
Paul: Give him the cash in the summer after we stay up and we can start to fly!
Martin: Farke's credit should, in my view, stretch back to the moment he started at Leeds and how he helped to steady a significantly unstable ship. The work he did to pull together a squad when so many players jumped ship with loan clauses and sales after relegation. They were tough times and he's brought the club a long way.
Tony: Farke is doing a great job on a limited budget. He has a relatively small squad and has got the best from the majority of players. If (when!) we stay up, he should stay. He's deserved it.
Andrew: I am 100% behind supporting Farke next season - a humble, passionate leader who deserves a chance to try to build a squad and team that will result in Leeds spending many happy years in the Premier League.
Marcus: Farke definitely has credit in the bank but I'm not sure us fans think he's good enough to take us further even if we stay up. Far too many tactical and substitution errors, and we still keep conceding very late goals which cost us points, which hasn't changed from pretty much the start of the season. I like him a lot but if we stay up we need someone new.
Richard: Reasonably fair. I feel he underuses his full squad and doesn't know how to kill off teams. We draw too many where wins were possible. If he keeps us up he has done his job, but maybe someone else is needed to take us up the table. I wouldn't want anyone to be sacked but trying to get to the next level under Farke might be too much of an experiment. He has no previous form for doing that in a top league.
Image source, Getty ImagesKaiser Chiefs bassist Simon Rix says Daniel Farke has built up "loads of credit in the bank" since joining Leeds United in July 2023, adding that the Whites boss has worked hard to build "a great bond" with the supporters.
Farke has guided Leeds to an FA Cup semi-final and, as a result of Monday's win at Manchester United, they are well-placed to survive in the Premier League.
Speaking on BBC Radio Leeds' Don't Go To Bed Just Yet podcast, Rix said: "He has inspired performances a couple of times this season. He has occasionally pulled a different little thing out of the bag which has worked.
"He is bringing very good times to Leeds. His first season was very difficult, his second season saw us get promoted with 100 points, and even when we were questioning whether he was the right guy for the job this season, he took it on board.
"We gave him the tools to get out of the Championship and he did that. He hasn't been given the tools to take the club to 10th in the Premier League, but he has been given the tools for a 15th to 17th-place finish and he is very steadily doing it.
"The question in my head now is if we gave him a really good team, is he going to be the guy to take us up to the next level?
"I really think he just gets this club. For example, he was talking about wanting to disprove the 'Leeds are falling apart again' thing so he knows all the chants and all the noise.
"He constantly shows that he gets the fans and he has a great bond with them, which is so important. It helps the team, gives everyone confidence and gels everything together.
"It has also been a while since this club has had a manager who has stayed for a long time. We wanted someone who we could get behind and genuinely create a bit of history with. For me, he has loads of credit in the bank."

Image source, PA MediaI am writing this while stuck in standstill traffic thanks to the typical M62, but who cares because we have just taken three points against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Absolutely incredible from start to finish. I could not be prouder to be a Leeds fan over these past two weeks. Everything just feels fantastic right now.
Every single player in white stepped up. No one had a bad game, no one lacked passion. It was pure quality in one of the fiercest rivalries in football.
We should have had the game buried by half-time and that is the only frustration. My watch was telling me to breathe deeply while my heart rate hit 98 beats per minute. We had so many chances to make their goal irrelevant. From their side, it just was not good enough.
Daniel Farke has been outstanding. A semi-final, almost securing safety and now a win against our biggest rivals. You cannot deny it, he is starting to look like a legend in the making.
Saturday is massive. A win against Wolves would almost settle the relegation battle. Then heading to Wembley on the back of two huge wins, possibly against a struggling Chelsea, you start to think something special is happening.
I have been laughing reading comments from Manchester United fans about the red card. Just look at it. He pulled his hair so much his face stretched. Biased? Not at all. It was a red card and credit to Paul Tierney for getting it right.
Experiencing that win with my dad is what it is all about. He has taken me everywhere following Leeds, from Yeovil to Sutton, and to now have weeks like this means everything. I am genuinely grateful to be able to experience it with him.

We asked for your thoughts after Monday's Premier League game between Manchester United and Leeds United.
Here are some of your comments:
Manchester United fans
David: Too many times Man Utd start games badly. A stupid sending off. Played well with 10 men and were unlucky not to get a draw. It is a worry that with Casemiro gone, where do midfield goals come from?
Neil: Can't believe how little respect Man Utd showed Leeds and how badly they underestimated a team fighting for their lives. Leeds should have had four in the first half and overpowered Man Utd.
Mark D: Terrible, no tempo to the play, the players start so slow. Surely the coach can see this and allows the opposition to get a foot in the game. Ironically, United started to play with pace when down to 10 men because they had to. Team selection and the use of subs were also baffling.
Steve: Carrick has failed the audition, too slow with changes again and not for the first time! Gone is the energy that started his spell... too slow and too predictable.
Leeds fans
Richard: So proud of every single player in that Leeds team. We battered Man Utd on their home turf, especially in the first half and could have been 3-0 or 4-0 up. We looked like the team third in the league. Massive three points and what a performance. Super Leeds.
Boris: Been a long time coming, and having a couple of dodgy refereeing decisions go our way, for a change, makes victory taste even sweeter. Farke has achieved a feat that Wilkinson, O'Leary and Bielsa never managed. Beating the old enemy on their own ground, and deservedly so.
Joe: Unbelievably proud! Every single one of the boys showed fight, desire and passion for the shirt. We'll remember this victory over our biggest rivals for such a long time. Let's keep ourselves humble, though, beat Wolves on Saturday and I think we'll be pretty much there. We deserve to stay in this league!
Philip: I was there at Old Trafford in 1981 as a 16-year-old as Brian Flynn scored. This is another match that no Leeds United fan will ever forget. We mashed 'em! Could have been five or more. Legends to a man in the white shirts.
Image source, Getty ImagesLeeds United manager Daniel Farke says his team are "working hard" to prove the old saying 'Leeds are falling apart again' wrong this season, following two big wins in the FA Cup and Premier League in the space of eight days.
After reaching their first FA Cup semi-final since 1987 with a dramatic penalty shootout win over West Ham, Leeds claimed their first league win at Old Trafford since 1981.
Speaking to BBC Radio Leeds, Daniel Farke said: "I'm pretty tired, like after the FA Cup game, but I'm pretty relieved. I'm unbelievably proud of the boys, what a week we've had!
"We are working to get rid of this old narrative that 'Leeds are falling apart again'. We want to deliver when it counts.
"It is a huge step forward for us - but I'm not so interested in the gap, I'm interested in the amount of points. Nothing is achieved yet so we have no reason not to stay grounded, humble and hungry."
Dominic Calvert-Lewin was measured with his emotions after the 2-1 win: "It is a really good feeling. I'm probably not as high as you would think because we still have a job to do.
"We can be proud of ourselves because it has gone down in the history books, but I'm focused on making sure we are mathematically safe.
"We are six points clear of the bottom now but the more points we get on the table, the happier I will be."
James Justin reiterated that the group are taking one game at a time: "It is a good three points, but we are already looking forward to Wolves at the weekend.
"The travelling fans were probably the loudest I've ever heard them. I can only take my hat off to the support we get from them. I feel their emotion but I have to stay level-headed because we still have a job to do.
"People are always telling me Leeds don't do things the easy way. We would like for things to be plain-sailing, but it just isn't the way things have fallen this season."

Image source, Getty ImagesThe last time Leeds overcame Manchester United in the Premier League, the UK charts were being topped by Atomic Kitten with 'The Tide is High'.
That tune topped the listings in September 2002, when the Whites enjoyed a 1-0 win over their rivals.
Perhaps more memory-evoking will be the last time Leeds won on away soil at Old Trafford in the league. This takes us back to February of 1981.
The victory - earned with a Brian Flynn goal at the death - came on 28 February, when Joe Dolce Music Theatre topped the charts with 'Shaddap You Face'. You could have danced the night away to that one at a time when the average pint cost around 51 pence.

Image source, Getty ImagesGetting 36 points on the board should offer a huge psychological boost for Leeds.
Teams finishing on 36 or more points in each of the past nine Premier League seasons have avoided relegation.
In the 20-team Premier League era, starting from the 1995-96 season, the average number of points earned by the team finishing 18th is 35.53.
In those 30 seasons of 38 games, 36 points has ensured survival 60% of the time.
The rate of survival increases to 80% for 38 points, 90% for 40 points and 100% for 43 or more points.
So does that mean Leeds have virtually guaranteed survival this season?
Not really.
That is because this season is on track to be the toughest to survive for a decade.
According to Opta's supercomputer, Tottenham are now favourites to go down at 48.7%. But Spurs, sitting 18th, are on 30 points and projected to finish on 37 by Opta - meaning 38 points would be needed for survival.
West Ham, currently 17th, hold the record for the team relegated with the most points in the 20-team era - in 2002-03 when they picked up 42 points but still went down.
"The reality is that performance-wise we should already [have] far more than 40 points," Daniel Farke said.
"This team has performed over the whole season with unbelievable consistency.
"But we are on 36 points, a few more points are needed. For now, three points closer but nothing is achieved yet."
Leeds United manager Daniel Farke speaking to Sky Sports: "Tired. Relieved. Proud of the boys. Fantastic performance. We are in the crunch time of the season and it's important to keep your nerves and stick to your plan.
"I think the first half was fantastic, we should've been higher up than 2-0, we missed many, many chances. Good start to the second half. Sometimes a red card can change something, I didn't have the feeling at all. We were a bit sleepy at one set piece. Of course it's more or less still Man Utd's way, it's difficult to bring it over the line as a newly-promoted side.
"I think it's the first in Premier League history, first win here for 40 years. It's amazing, and of course a big step forward."
On whether the result gives his team confidence: "A win is always good for the mood, for confidence. Also for the table!
"The reality is that performance wise we should already be with far more than 40 points. This team has performed over the whole season with unbelievable consistency. We can be more effective in both boxes.
"For that reality, we are on 36 points, a few more points are needed. For now, three points closer, nothing is achieved yet, we have to stay humble, grounded, hungry, we need to make sure we are also on it in the upcoming games to win as many points as possible."
Did you know?
Leeds enjoyed their first league win over Manchester United since September 2002 (1-0), while it's their first away from home since February 1981 (1-0) ending a run of 18 league visits without a win (D7 L11).
Leeds United ended a run of six Premier League games without a win, while it's just their second away win this season after a 3-1 victory at Wolves in September.

Image source, Getty ImagesThe joy of the Leeds fans as they remained in the stadium and sang their songs long after the final whistle and their jubilant team had left the pitch underlined just what this win - against this particular opponent, on this particular ground, after so long - meant.
There were 3,000 Leeds supporters inside Old Trafford, but legend will claim there were far more.
But for Daniel Farke and his players, beating Manchester United is worth something far more significant.
Premier League survival has come down to a battle between four clubs, with one of them destined to join Wolves and Burnley, who are surely Championship-bound.
Had Calvert-Lewin taken the two gilt-edged chances that came his way either side of Okafor's double, the late scares would have been avoided, so too if Martinez had not denied Ao Tanaka with an amazing goalline tackle to prevent Leeds going three up by half-time.
Regardless, in their mini-battle, Leeds are now six points clear of Tottenham, who occupy the third relegation spot. If Leeds beat Wolves at Elland Road before any of their rivals play this weekend, the gap will be nine.
That is all Farke will care about. The fans will carry on singing.

I love the job Daniel Farke has done at Leeds United. It is great to see them at Wembley for the FA Cup semi-final, but the worry is that they picked up a few injuries in their win over West Ham United.
Michael Carrick has really turned Manchester United around, to the extent where they are basically nailed on for Champions League football next season.
I don't think anyone would back against them at Old Trafford at the moment, either. I can only see a home win here, with Bruno Fernandes being integral again.
