Harry needs to work. He worked today, and he will keep on working until he is ready for the team.

Players that not had many sessions working with us, it is a different case with Bryan Gil, because he was at the Olympics Games., also for Cristian Romero, but I think for them it is important to be here to see the stadium, the hotel, the meeting, to see all the process we have, it is important.

When he was asked about the future of Harry Kane, if the England striker will remain at the club. He said,

He worked in the morning. I don't know what he is going to do.
