Maresca said: "Yes they (Reece James and Romeo Lavia) are available (for 90 minutes). I said since we start we are going to manage both because they are a bit (of a) delicate situation.
"(Noni Madueke) is back, he is training with us and 100% fit."
On managing James as a full-back, the manager also said: "For sure, using a full-back in that way - up and down - you spend more energy. But I'm not a fan of full-back (going) up and down, our full-backs we don't use them up and down.
"Only game we do that was Crystal Palace, where we don’t use full back inverted for a reason, but I'm not a fan of full-back up and down."
