‘I’m interested as well. I don’t know exactly,’ he said. ‘I asked him and he said it’s (his) hamstring.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Not too serious is his opinion, but we obviously have to wait for the scans. Then we will know more.<\/p>\n
‘Besides Trent’s hamstring, it was the perfect afternoon. The atmosphere, the weather. My god! I cannot imagine a better Sunday.’<\/p>\n
