00:00 What about Riyan?
00:05 Yeah, I mean, obviously, Dan, we talked about it and, you know, this is just another part
00:12 that we need to get to the bottom of it. I think we've had, you know, we're close on
00:17 having 50 soft tissue injuries before now and the end of the season, which is ridiculous.
00:24 So there's all sorts of things that we need to look at in that, Danny, and make sure we,
00:28 you know, because that's availability, durability, robustness. You know, we're making physical
00:34 substitutions, you know, we can't play him for that set amount of time and he can't do
00:42 this and he can't do that. And, you know, the job's hard enough, the job's hard enough
00:48 as it is, the job's hard enough in the Premier League and the job's hard enough when you're
00:53 sort of looking at that situation. So we need to get that right. We need to get it right
00:56 for Riyan as well. You know, he did recovery days and then we trained Thursday morning
01:04 and he just went down in a heap having taken a shot, totally innocuous. And then he stayed
01:11 down and then I think we're all looking at each other and thinking, you know, what's
01:15 going off? And obviously the physio comes on and looks at him and he's had an issue
01:21 with his hamstring again. So, you know, we've got to get that right for the boys' point
01:25 of view as well as our point of view.
01:27 Is that known for the season?
01:30 Yeah he is but we've got to take a medium and longer term risk and reward view now with
01:38 Riyan. You know, there has to be a plan for him, there has to be some sort of structure
01:43 in place for him to give himself an opportunity because, you know, at the moment, you know,
01:55 the mechanics of his body or something else, we need to, as a club, in conjunction with
02:02 Riyan, get that right for him and us.
