"Stress [on the] bone. Stress. Just stress," he said. "Please don’t ask that his foot is broken. It’s just stress bone. He was not ready for this game, I don’t think he will be ready for Crystal Palace. Hopefully he can be ready for Saudi Arabia [Club World Cup]. Week-by-week will dictate how he feels."
