️ KS: 'It’s a mark of his progression that we had to discuss the implications that his absence would have on our squad, but both Tony and I felt this was a vital and unique experience for Chris and we’re looking forward to supporting him from afar...'

Brilliant news for the lad and for us. As much as I want to see him on the pitch for us what a learning opportunity to play against the likes of Brazil in a tournament environment. Hope he comes back a winner, drops his medal on Mowbrays desk and says where am I playing Saturday gaffer.
