It’s just a bad day for him to be tested. “Honestly, on the administration side certainly it would still be our responsibility because on the day he had not moved, so maybe this will be down to us and our responsibility.

“I don’t know what really happened but usually we always try on request to get our players available and always co-ordinate well. I don’t know what really happened, I’ll have to check that," he said. “It doesn’t happen a lot,” he added. ”It happened with us with [Cesc] Fabregas who went to Spain for treatment and we lost contact in Spain and they couldn’t find him because he was at the doctor’s office, so sometimes it can be difficult to locate the player at the right moment, but although there is a number of controls that we have, it doesn’t happen a lot. “I’m quite relaxed because we have nothing to hide, and we always try our best to cooperate with doping control."
