“It's getting better. Fortunately it was only badly bruised. I was out for a few days, but I started training today (yesterday) and I'm confident I'll be in Burkina Faso.”
“Once I got injured we had a back four that had never played together and that can be difficult. But I think it was an eye-opener for Stuart, who wanted to know who to feature against Burkina Faso.”
“I did not intentionally break the law but made a foolish mistake for which I have accepted responsibility. I am pleased the whole incident is now behind me and I can focus my attention on doing my best for Blackburn Rovers.”
