“Ronwen, had a small thing on one of his adductors, not a muscle injury but syndrome, it’s not long-term, we hope to have him back as soon as possible, maybe this weekend, that’s what we’re trying to work on. Being an important player, as one of our captains, when Themba is not on the pitch he takes take responsibility
“But also by what he means as a player, just go back to the press conference of the coach of Al Hilal, how he prepared the team different just because of the characteristics of goalkeepers are different which allows different approaches… but soon he will be back. Denis also had something small [injury] but he’s ready and we trust him so much.”
