 "The important thing is the players health which we'll focus on first and foremost. Of course it's disappointing for the player but I spoke to him yesterday and told him to keep smiling and be patient and we'll do everything we can to support him and get him in front of the right people with the right support and hopefully he'll be back before not too long."
