I see the player every day, he works very well, he's happy, and I don't feel affected at all, he's very enthusiastic. (…) He took advantage of this break to improve his condition, to recover from his injuries. I think his condition has improved, he is doing very well, he is happy and is looking forward to playing tomorrow and playing an important role for the team.”
