If it were something occasional … but it is that when a player is injured again and again and then underperforms when he recovers, that is a sign that there is some other problem that affects him “, evaluated the Betfair ambassador. its sale. He has not yet shown what was expected of him. It would not be strange to see him go out in the summer ”.
