Update Friday 4 April 2025

Ivan Juric: “Ryan’s situation is worrying because he has been dealing with a groin issue, the pubis, the abductor, a little bit of everything since the beginning of the season ... “We are trying to go with him until the end of the season but the other day, against Brighton, there were moments where he felt he couldn’t anymore.

“That’s probably something that we have to analyse, there is a chance we decide that he should have the surgery now, recover, take his time and be ready for next season.

“It’s not something that we’ve decided but it’s a situation that we have to analyse well because I think his body is telling him he’s pushed it a lot.” (Source: afcb.co.uk)
