“The year of the Treble was amazing. Last season he scored goals but he struggled a little.
“This year, I had a feeling he is incredibly focused. When you have a focus and your target is to be fit, always you are fit.
“Our physio takes care of him really well. He spends a lot of time here, that’s why he’s ready.
“With the amount of situations we should use him more than we expect but he handles it really well.”
