"We know how desperate we all are to have him - there's no doubt about that - but we've also got to get it right for him. "He's been very unfortunate with these injuries... regarding the World Cup, unfortunately, we're just running out of time. He's not going to come round quite quick enough, especially for the first part of the World Cup. There is a duty of care with him. "We have to make sure that long-term, we get it right because we see him as a huge asset for a long time. As much as the temptation is to try and rush him in){kind=link}
