00:00 Firstly, yeah, great to have him back because he's the only, bizarrely, he's the only recognised
00:07 centre-back we have fit at the moment because obviously Micky Van Der Veen and Eric Dyer
00:11 and Ashley Phillips, the first team, are all sort of out.
00:15 So just to have him as a recognised centre-back back in the team is good but he's also a fantastic
00:22 player.
00:23 He's a leader in the group.
00:24 Obviously when we lost Madders and him after the Chelsea game, a lot of that sort of fell
00:28 on Sonny's shoulders so from a leadership perspective, good to get him back.
00:33 Richie, to be fair to him, he was struggling with it from the start of the season but from
00:37 our point of view and the medical team's point of view, it was one that we thought we could
00:40 sort of persist with until we got a good chance to sort of get some work on it.
00:45 Talking to him and watching him, he feels a lot better in terms of that aspect of it
00:50 but like I say, he's missed a fair bit of training in that three, four weeks so we've
00:53 just got to do some work with him over the next couple of weeks to get him back up to
00:56 speed because again, we've got a fair few games and we've been a little bit limited
01:00 with how we can change things up during a game in the front third so having him available
01:05 either to start or to come onto a game is going to be invaluable.
