The winger, though, was pictured boarding the club plane as the players and staff headed south. He had been injured against Everton and missed training for most of the week, as well as sitting out the win at Burnley.

Hopefully, he won’t be needed, but ahead of both Napoli and Manchester United, learning that the injury is not serious enough to stop him travelling is a big positive.
