He is a very well-bred child and we enjoy his qualities and everything he can offer us. He has a grade 2-3 contusion, he did not train with the team today.

Now it also depends a lot on these two days that we have at our disposal. As far as I know him, he will want to play”, said Florentin Petre, on the “Exclusiv Dinamo” show, from ProSport.
