“He’s fine. He’s all good. I think he’s had a bit of a hip issue a couple of years ago when he was at Sheffield Wednesday and I think he jarred his hip a little bit into the ground and I think it scared him a little bit and he was a bit worried, but there’s nothing which has showed up on anything and he’s trained fine this week and he’s available."
