Still up in the air to make Romelu Lukaku play his direction back into the structure, Arno Michels has uncovered.

Michels added: "We had an hour where we could lead 3-1. We had numerous open doors, crosses from the side, contacts in the container. We were somewhat unfortunate with the crossbar and post and simultaneously, we score pretty much our own objective.
"So we had a tad of trouble however everybody will say in the FA Cup the main thing is to go through and that is what we did."
Michels added Mason Mount was taken off as a safeguard.
He said: "He felt a physical issue in additional time with this shot on objective. Exclusively by this shot - it was anything but a significant issue during the game - it was just when he had the shot he understood he had speedy he felt torment thus we took him off."We will see. There will be further tests. Ideally, it's not really awful however at this moment I can't guarantee what the circumstance is."
