“Today, we have the feeling that the guys are doing well but we are completely sure that if anyone does not meet the minimum availability, they will be left out. We are clear on that.

“For now, they are doing well. We have been monitoring them and not risking them, that’s true. When the last week arrives, the decisive step, there we will make the decision that we have to make.

“We will be very upset if any of the guys have to be left out. We will see in the following week when we speed up the recoveries.

“Those who train separately are improving. We already knew when we have the list, each one’s situation. The idea is that they do not take part in the two friendly matches. At best, from the second match, there might be a chance that some of them could play.”
