So, what did Gerardo Tata Martino say? "We had two very intense games (in Saudi Arabia this week), two more we have played in El Salvador and Dallas. We have to observe the physical situation of each of our players, but we expect that Leo will play as long as possible.

"We will assess each of the players in training because we have been playing a lot of pre-season games. The aspiration is that Leo can play as many minutes as possible. We will determine how long he can play depending on what happens in training tomorrow. But he will most certainly be on the pitch."
