After a creditable 2-2 draw against Aston Villa in the Premier League, McKenna stated: “I thought it was a good performance today. I think game by game he’s improving, his confidence was coming on the ball a little bit today. He’s been working really well off the ball.
“Of course, it was a shame for him to get the little injury that stopped his momentum, but I thought he stepped back into the team well today after only a couple of days’ training.
“He’s enjoying it, he’s enjoying being part of the group, he’s enjoying the day-to-day work and he’s proving that he can be an important player for us on the pitch.”
