Whether that involvement sees the Portuguese midfielder, who completed his transfer from Sporting Clube de Portugal on Thursday afternoon, feature from the start, or off the bench, remains to be seen.

“He's fit enough to play and he'll be involved definitely,” Ole told reporters at the Aon Training Complex.



“He'll be in the squad. Let's get the training out of the way today.



“He's had of course a few hectic days now and even with his little daughter's three-year birthday yesterday, so I don't know how much he will be involved, but he's in the squad.”
