“Pre-season is something which is very, very important and, for me, I’ve not been able to have a real pre-season for a long time because of the international games.
“I have always been coming back later, so to start the pre-season with the squad is quite good. I think I’m going to have a month or more with the squad before the pre-season starts so it’s a good opportunity for me to get myself back together and to feel good before the season.”
