The Argentine was asked about his RB Leipzig loanee striker and whether or not the club will seek to extend the loan deal, but could only say that Augustin had trained 'without problem' and promised that the club would address the situation once a decision was made.

"For the moment I have nothing to inform about this," he said.

"He was training so far without any problem. It is a decision that when we take it we are going to communicate it."

Augustin has played just 48 minutes of Championship football since his January arrival. A February injury took him out of the equation and although the 23-year-old returned to fitness during the lockdown break, there were then concerns at the club over his fitness. Bielsa has said Augustin has had to do 'necessary' individual fitness work and the striker hasn't been available for selection.
