Asked to clear up Enciso’s situation, Hurzeler said: “It is not a big injury, so he is back in rehab training.
“It is very important that the players now are our plans for the future.
“We have an open conversation with Julio and then we will see what happens in the next days.”

Glasner confident Palace will add to squad
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner is confident the club will bring in new players before tomorrow’s deadline.
He said: “We wanted to bring the players in at the beginning of pre-season, to be in a good position of negotiating and to integrate the players.
“Now having to integrate four or five players delays being successful. This is the missed opportunities to bring in the players early enough.
“Usually when you are busy at the end, you missed something at the beginning. Everywhere is the same.
