00:00No, no, the times are more or less the same. He's not training with the group, yes, he's going out on the field and he's working with the physical coaches.
00:11And he's evolving well. It was predictable that he wouldn't be with Argentina because he's still not in a condition to play, but we're doing well.
00:22There's no estimated date yet, because we'll have to see how he feels as he continues to train on the field.
00:30That's not far away, I wouldn't say in days, but it's not too far away.
00:37There's a part of the injuries that have to do with the physical, and there's a part of the injuries that have to do with the mental.
00:48So we have to overcome them both ways. I think he's going through that process, he's feeling better and better.
00:55He's been working on the field for three or four days and he hadn't gone out until then and he felt good.
01:01As I said, we can't give you time because we don't know and it would be speculating on something that maybe shouldn't be done.
01:13But it's close.
