Ipswich boss Gary O'Neil has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against his former side Bournemouth at Portman Road (kick-off 14:00 GMT).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

• O'Neil confirmed "everybody is available" for Sunday. Midfielder Sasa Lukic, who has missed three games through injury, has returned to training and O'Neil said there is "no reason why Sasa cannot start the game". He added: "He has trained well this morning. He was excellent in that sort of midfield position, we did some important tactical stuff today."

• On Ipswich players being called up to their respective international teams: "It is great. We have recruited some real good players, and, of course, what comes with that is you see them go away on international duty. You wish them well, and you're proud of them."

• On Abdoul Ouattara's first call-up to the Ivory Coast squad: "I think the international call-up will be big for him and his family. The moment I arrived in Strasbourg I couldn't believe he wasn't playing for his international team. I spent a lot of time with Abdul and quite a bit with his father when we were at Strasbourg and I know what a proud family they are."

• The Tractor Boys boss believes Bournemouth, who are aiming for an eighth straight win, will pose a "test" for his team and that Marco Rose's side are an "established Premier League club". He added: "Sounds like a difficult challenge. They have obviously found a good way at the moment. They have excellent players. The amount of top players they have been able to recruit, and the whole team put together, has been impressive."

• O'Neil said he feels a "different coach" since he was in charge of the Cherries in 2022, but his time at the south coast club gave him "belief".
