"It's straightforward, I can only give you the stuff we've had from the medical people. He's got blurred vision and until that clears he can't play.
"He definitely hasn't got a cist on his eye, I can assure you of that. The problem is with the stuff that's written about the situation - saying that he's going blind gives me something I have to respond to, and I really shouldn't have to.

"And I'm having to answer to you when there's nothing there. It's straightforward, he's got blurred vision. That doesn't mean to say he's dying!
"They [doctors] say possibly a couple of weeks, we don't know. While he's still got blurred vision I, as a coach, wouldn't pick him anyway."
