"As you can see, I'm completely fine," said the Spaniard. "I would like to be in the test this week in Barcelona but the doctors' recommendations were that I had to wait, a couple of days.
"So I will rest this weekend and I will keep you updated next week with progress. See you very soon on track and thanks for all the support."
