"What I said to him, as a coach is, that since I am here, I saw him in the medical department," Amorim told Amazon Prime Video. "I saw him in the gym. I saw him losing weight. I saw him training.
"So he did everything right. Sometimes, when you have one or two injuries, it's really hard to recover.
"If he continues with this behaviour, doing everything he can, I will be here. All the staff will be here, as long as it takes.
"We believe a lot in him, he's so important for our team. For the future, I see in this team, Luke is a very important player for us."
