Rafa Benitez confirmed the news, but refused to comment further, only adding that the player was still training well.
"In this moment we do not have any comment. The only thing is he is training well and working as normal, but we need to wait. The things I can control I do and he's training normally and he's okay," Rafa said.
Benitez added, "He explained to me the problem and sometimes you cannot control everything, it then depends on other people. We need to wait, but the most important thing is he is focused on training."
