Here's some more from Daniel Farke's press conference ahead of the weekend's game against Oxford United.

How aware is Farke of interest in any of his players ahead of the transfer window?

"Even when there is interest, we have calmed everything down," Farke said.

"We are in such a crucial period, and we want all our players to focus on us right now.

"We want the whole squad to be focused on these next five games.

"After 4 January, there will be an FA Cup weekend and then we can speak about everything else if we do something in January.

"Until then, there won't be any decisions and we just want to focus on winning as many games as possible."

Farke says he is not under pressure to sell players to help the club's PSR situation in January:

"I don't think we need to earn any more money," he said.

"We earned more money than any club in Western Europe.

"It's important for us to be sustainable after some difficult years in terms of spending.

"You have to stick to the rules and there is a moment when you have to sell some players after perhaps over-spending. It was beneficial for the long-term picture.

We had to rebuild but overall, I think it was beneficial.

"We are a healthy club right now and so no pressure to do anything. We can't spend a fortune but there is no need to do anything in terms of earning more money."
