New team, new league, been injured and had very little opportunity to train with the starting defenders.
Good to be hopeful, he's a smart guy and has some quality, but I think it's a lot to ask of a CB who occasionally has played fullback (often on the left), to slot in on the right and start performing right away.
He needs 25 matches to trigger the obligation. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up short of that number, but I guess we'll see.
