Pimienta said today: "We already know about his hip problems. He's going to travel and we'll ask him how he is. Jesús has earned the right to decide.

"We're going to enjoy him to the fullest, without putting pressure on him, so that he can enjoy these final moments. He's an example for everyone."

On Friday's match against Alavés, he added : "We have a demanding match and we must have all five senses in the game. We must come out of the game thinking that we have competed well. It is a good time to get a victory away from home, although it would not be a turning point because there is still a long way to go."
