“We knew it was a significant injury. He’s done very well and he’s working very hard, he wants to be available.”
He concluded by saying “Hopefully we can get him back soon but it’s an area we need to be careful and we need to be protected with the player. ‘I don’t think he will be with us in the next few games.”
