"I'm happy with the squad as it is now,” said Van Bronckhorst when asked pre-match about the prospect of business ahead of the September 1 deadline.

"Of course we could have had less injuries - it's a bit down for us at the moment.

“That's why we have a big squad and we can rotate in needed.

"You can see the bench we have at the moment - it's a strong bench and we can change at any moment.

"I'm really happy with that but of course there's many games to come."

Van Bronckhorst also gave an update on Glen Kamara, who misses out against Ross County on Saturday due to injury and has been linked with a move to French club Nice.

I don't think it's a long-term injury,” Van Bronckhorst said on the Finnish midfielder. "He trained yesterday and just felt a little bit of discomfort.

"We decided not to take a risk with him – I think he will be available again next week."
