This lad has had a terrible run of luck with injuries since he signed. He was brought on as a sub by Silva and then started in the next game, when even the dogs on the street knew it was far too soon for him to be playing. His subsequent injury was then mismanaged by our medical team, and all this happened while he was 22 and living in a new country.
If there is any justice in the world, surely he will make a good recovery and get his career back on track. I feel that the club owe it to him to carefully manage his comeback, with a view to him having a full pre season and hit the floor running next term. Any minutes he gets this season should be only in no pressure situations, i.e. when we are a couple of goals ahead going into the last 5 or 10 minutes (if that ever happens).
