He didn't do anything at the WC did he? He won't be back in pre season yet either. I wonder if its something he's done at home?

Whatever it is at least there is plenty of time to recover before the season starts.

Strange one. Fortunately he's always mentioned as an excellent trainer and we do have some depth in the forwards so hopefully not too much of an issue.

its just a clear-out, nothing serious he will be back in a few weeks

minor close season op, they'll be others too who have had small ops

Yeah, he confirms in the comments that he's just had the "Ferrari" fine tuned
