Asked whether the defender would travel to Andalusia, the boss responded: “I think so. He feels good.
“He couldn’t be here [against Aston Villa] because he had a baby born, so congratulations to him, his wife and family.
“[But] he is ready, he came back really well from Dortmund.
“He’s trained one day. Friday afternoon he flew to his wife.
“I think today [Saturday] or tomorrow [Sunday] he is coming back to Manchester.”
