“He’s relaxed and what impresses me the most is that he’s as fit as the day of the final two months ago. What interests me in the long run is that he’s fit. As to the rest, there’s not much we can do about it. The fact he’s with us means a lot. If he’s with us it’s because he’s ready to play. We’ll see whether he plays or not but the important thing is he’s with us.”
