I suspect that timeframes will be difficult to put on his return. Even if there are some targets in place, it’s unlikely that updates will be provided, and rightly so. Do we even know if he is ‘at work’ and therefore training? If not, it could further lengthen the time taken to get anywhere near to ...

Re: When did this become legal?

It looked like Kompany instructed JBL to tuck his shirt in, during the first half, presumably to make it more obvious when his shirt was being pulled, which it was on a number of occasions.

Either that or VK is a stickler for having a well presented team.
