"I think our pre-season is going well," he said. "It is very difficult when you have a lot of players away who come back much later.
"For example Fernando Torres and the rest of the Spanish players have trained for only three days.

"It's impossible to make any judgements when players have only trained for a few days.
"We have to analyse the team after maybe two more weeks."
