We put them on off-season programmes but they all started pre-season [at different times]. From individual to individual, we'll assess them and make a decision on whether they start, are on the bench or not in the squad. We'll think about Licha [Martinez] being involved.
It depends on how you pick the team, looking at your own tactics and game models but also what fits the best against opponents. We will put out a team that is very competitive to win this trophy, but it's also pre-season.
He had a very bad season, a very tough season for him because of all his injuries. We are very pleased that he has had a very good pre-season. I'm sure he will now offer continuity if he stays fit, as is the case for every player.
