"Losing a game is hard but again losing a player is something we've had many times this season. It's very hard for him at this time of the season."

In his post-match press conference, Slot added: "It looks really bad but it is difficult for me to say how bad. Tomorrow we will investigate this further, how bad this is for him.

"I don't know. I heard many things, but I don't want to talk about that because with the World Cup, all of the things coming this summer. It's very, very hard for him at this moment and I send him my prayers and everything."
