“It’s been another frustrating week for me leading into Christmas. I couldn’t train much last week because I had a slight hamstring strain and my family was sharing around a virus so I had to keep away from the training ground anyway. I’ve still got a bit of a sore throat but I’ve been itching to get out there on the training ground this week and get a full week’s work done in preparation for our big match on Boxing Day. On the whole I am feeling much better and I am raring to go again.” (BBC)
