Quote: JackDiggle "Not suggesting its the case but if any player had an illness or condition they might not want their younger or distant family members to know about (especially if 100% recovery looks likely) or one that might be used by opponents/fans as a wind-up - I would fully expect the coach to cover this - its a decent thing to do. It could be done simply by 'unwell' (as in Jeffrey Barnard is Unwell). I don't personally consider this lying.'"
If Rangi has issues that he wants to remain private then the deafening silence from the club is absolutely how it should be, the club has a duty of confidentiality that needs to be honoured. TBH I think the speculation needs to stop, it doesn't help anyone, least of all Rangi.
If there are any health problems, let him recover in his own time and welcome him back to the family when it's time. As the previous poster suggests, we don't know it is the case and nor should we.
