Devils.
Redknapp said while speaking to reporters:
“We've got to come back like we did earlier in the season. We need to bounce back and recover. The problem is that everyone is going to various parts of the world to play international games.
They don't come back until Friday so there's hardly anyone in all week. It's crazy build-up to massive games at this stage of the season and with us playing Manchester United next week.”
