“I don’t know. This morning was the first time he trained and didn’t even train 100 per cent with the group.

“You saw 15 mins open to the press and yes, he was doing the warming up and the basic things after warming up but then when the training session was higher in intensity he was not training. No chance for tomorrow, he is not here, he stayed back training, and let’s see for the weekend.”
