After a 2-1 loss to Wolves, Edwards admitted that several players were playing through the pain.
On Gabe Osho and his defensive team-mates Teden Mengi and Reece Burke, he stated ahead of facing Everton: He was (struggling), and the three of them were feeling quite a bit. Gabe we've had to manage quite a bit through the week, but he's come through today. We're going to need it (players to put their bodies on the line) and especially tomorrow against Everton.
"We know what kind of questions they're going to ask of us. Physically we're going to have to be really, really strong and match that side of it. They make it that kind of game, but I'm not making them purely physical.
They've got some really talented footballers as well. Dwight McNeil has been performing really, really well, (Jack) Harrison, (Abdoulaye) Doucour. As well as that power and pace they've got some real technically good players who rotate, drift into different spaces, and cause problems. They've got a nice blend and it's working for them at the moment, we've got to stand up to that."
