It appears that his demise has been overstated. Maybe he'll play in the FA Cup game. Quotes only from an article in the boxing day programme:
"It was fantasic to get over an hour against Burnley (for the U23s).It's been a case for a couple of weeks now of just getting some minutes, before really pushing on.It's been so frustrating, personally, it hasn't been the best of starts, in fact it's been really tough having signed from Manchester City. It's still pretty slow progress, but it's just a case of racking up the minutes for the u23s now and with that will come match fitness and sharpness, I can't afford any further setbacks. I've had niggling injuries and a bout of illness too, but now I want to look forward rather than back.Obviously people know I haven't played for quite a while now, so it's good to be out there getting a feel for it again.I just want to progress smoothly and make sure I'm right when I start pushing for a spot in the matchday 18. The lads have been great with me, they know how frustrated I've been, off the field it couldn't have gone any better and I'm grateful for the support they've given me. It's a cliche, but it is a great group of lads here and that togetherness has to be a factor in the way they've done so well for the last three years now. We're in a good position in the table, despite dropping a few points recently. This is a competitive division, though and were right in amongst it at the top end. Christmas is always a vital time with the games coming up so quickly in such a short space of time, a positive return in the coming days will set us up nicely for 2019".
