He later said: "Jimenez is the first choice at the moment, because he started the last two matches.
“Alex worked hard, he was decisive and he needs continue like this. We need someone with this energy, this desire to run hard. If it’s a kid or not, that doesn’t interest me.
“He just has to keep going like this. We’ll see in what position, as today he also played in a more advanced wide role.”
