“I’m not sitting here trying to defend Jadon, but if anything, I think the manager has come out and thrown him under the bus.

“I don’t know how this is going to go, but I hope they find a way to resolve it because he is a top player, he needs to play; he’s young, 23, he hasn’t even reached his peak; still far away from that.
