"I know that some of your colleagues are amazed at Gigi's form," Martina said. "But I'm not. I knew about it already.

"Now he must find his fitness, but you can't understand everything from just two training sessions.

"Let's allow him to work and we'll see what happens when the moment arrives.

"Gigi is motivated. It's clear that he is working towards playing again. But we'll see. There is a Coach and it's up to him to respond, not me."
