Slot confirmed after the final whistle that the keeper had been taken to the hospital, though the injury is not expected to sideline him for an extended period."He has gone off to hospital," he said. He has subsequently had an operation and is progressing through his rehabilitation.He has established his own personal timeline for his comeback.

Speaking back in January, Slot said: "He's not training yet. So, he constantly gets close to the team, and then he has a little setback, and then comes close and has a little setback, so we're hoping and expecting to have him very soon, again."But at that moment of time, he trains with us again, then he's been out for six, seven, eight months [with] no first-team training.

So, as much as I'd like to have him back, we have to manage the expectations with him as well."Jayden DannsThe youngster has been sidelined since sustaining an injury during an U21 fixture against Manchester City back in March.Providing an update, Slot said: "The good thing for him is that he's been out for such a long time and he's now getting back with the U21s, getting some playing time. But I think there's still a lot of steps to be made if you've not even played 90 minutes [for] the U21s, let alone then play a Premier League game."But the first thing that comes to my mind is that he's worked so hard – I know this because I've seen him around over here a lot – to be where he is now, and he's also been so unlucky to be out for such a long time.
