“We work in a excessive efficiency space the place, for those who had the identical injury, you’re match after three days and [the player] is match after 4 weeks as a result of they must dash and stuff like this.

“We at all times attempt to catch the earliest second but sadly after we catch that second, no person speaks about it. Like with Macca, or lately with Diogo, that’s a job now we have to do.

“But the final choice is then at all times by the player and if we at all times hear solely to the player then they might play after two weeks after which it’s an actual downside.

“So the boys had been, within the second after they performed, they had been match. But the scenario informed us then otherwise as a result of it occurred once more.

“We won’t ever know if it might have occurred anyway or it simply occurred as a result of there was one thing earlier than. Very, very unfortunate and unlucky, completely, but I had that a few occasions in my time as a supervisor, not solely right here. It isn’t nice, but nothing else.

“It says nothing about the quality of anybody but the world we are living in there is always [talk about] the medical department. We have to bring the boys as back as soon as possible but never sooner than they are ready.”
