It was like that and this week. Many were gone to national teams. The course is a long one, I told the players that we have to increase the intensity. Without work and sacrifice, it will be hard. Some of the players have just reached the team, had problems with the plane.

Players left, we have to recalibrate now. It's a situation I accepted, it doesn't matter what it was, it matters what it will be. What I can tell you is that only Coco has prepared 100% with the team. At Zouma and Slimani we will see the contribution they can bring when they will be 100% physically.

We may see Coco. I had problems in that position, Abeid is not at this moment, and Coco can be a solution. Of the newcomers, he is the most prepared.

Louis can't play. It's injured. Two or three weeks will last until it returns. Zouma and Slimani will not move. Neither Muhar. It's better, but it's not ready for the match. He needs another week.
