Not that I’ve been able to find.My bad - for some reason I thought he was in a similar situation there as well, but apparently I was wrong.
In fact I believe multiple people from the team (manager and someone else?) came out and explicitly stated that they had heard the story but it doesn’t match their experience with him at all.
It just seems like he’s had some really shitty injury/sickness luck (just now getting over the flu after the international break, apparently) and hasn’t been able to get back into the lineup consistently.
