‘He’s healthy and ready to play for many years in a high level. It was just my limitation in explaining the injuries and I want to let that be very clear.

‘I felt that the week is really good. I see things in training but sometimes it’s hard to pass that to the game.

‘But I feel that they are improving. Sometimes we cannot show that in the game but I hope that tomorrow is another opportunity to show a better performance.’

‘Kobbie is recovering. We have to adapt to use the players that we have for the schedule.’
