Le Bris did, however, admit his players are at different stages of fitness ahead of the opening fixture.

“Yes, all of our players are available except Simon,” Le Bris said.

“We’ll see for the game time because they’re not all at the same stage, I would say, fitness level-wise.

“But they are available.”
