The manager said, “He came on in a great shape, probably in the best condition he’s been with us.
“He was flying in pre-season and unfortunately he got that injury straight away that affected him for a few weeks.
“He put again a lot of work into it to come back and now he needs to get the rhythm. He’s playing a few games, he’s started two games in a row vs Atalanta and Bolton, he’s come on against Southampton.
“So yeah, he’s there. Now he needs to earn the right to play more. He’s got our full support, he’s a player that can play in various positions and he’s a really important player for us.”
