""Jamie is more long-term," head coach Liam Rosenior said in his pre-match press conference. "He's got a tear in his hamstring, which is a real shame for him. "I've not had the chance to work with him for long but I know about his career and what an outstanding player he is, so it's a big loss. It's too early to say how long he will be out for right now.""
""Another hypothetical question. We have the best medical team in the world and the best sports science team in the world and we want to make sure the players can play to the level needed to help us win. "There isn't a time frame - that he's going to be perfect in one month or two or three - it's just game by game.""
""You want all of your players to be 100 per cent, 100 per cent of the time, but that is not going to happen. "Frustration isn't the word - I'm trying to get the best out of him and the rest of the team all of the time while taking into account the games coming up. "It's not about being not able to play him in some games, it's making sure he feels right and contributing to the team the way he want""
