The pair also sat out of Sunday’s 1-0 win at Crystal Palace in the Premier League having suffered their respective problems in training, although both absences expected to be short-term.
“Always you want all the players fit and available to be selected but that is why we are an amazing squad,” said Mauricio after training today (Tuesday 27 February).
“We have a lot of players that wait for their opportunity and of course we are going to be more happy when all are fit, but if something happens like in the last week with Jan or with Toby, who for nearly four months now has been out, of course, you need the squad.
