In anticipation of Tuesday's second leg of their Champions League round 16 play-off, Gasperini insists that the controversial criminal winner of Bruges should not weigh their minds because they want to destroy a 2-1 deficit.
“(Breathola) Lookman and (Sead) Kolasinac have been restored, they are being called,” said Gasperini.
“In principle, Kolasinac will start and lookman can arrive in the second half.
“We will probably lose (Isak). Today we followed a final training session and he felt some fatigue in his adductor. Tomorrow we have more details.
“The team played a little halfway in the first stage, which caused us a few more problems. We have to play a better game; In the second half we had opportunities to take the lead. In general we have to play a game that is better for two steps. “
Gasperini also said: “Everything is important, it has an impact and can be decisive in many aspects, but we have to play an excellent match.
“I saw a very versatile team against City, they have young players who turn the game around. To get through this round, we have to play a good match in every aspect. They made a big impression on me.
“It is a game that lasts 90 minutes, we have to adjust and create opportunities. We play against a team that requires maximum concentration. It must be seen for more than 90 minutes and if necessary more than 120 minutes.
“We have already said everything about the punishment in the first stage, the result is what it is and we have to try to win the game. What happened in the first stage, in terms of the result, is well documented. We will not concentrate on that aspect. “
