Cardiff City manager Omer Riza updates on Aaron Ramsey’s injury status and future with the club amid ongoing contract discussions
Cardiff: So, it looks like Aaron Ramsey is still quite a ways from getting back on the pitch. Omer Riza, the manager, just confirmed it. Ramsey’s been out since he hurt his hamstring while playing for Wales in Montenegro back in September.
At first, it seemed like he’d be back in a couple of weeks, but here we are, three months later, and Riza says he’s still in rehab. He mentioned that Ramsey is “a long way off” being ready to play again. It’s a bit of a bummer, honestly.
Ramsey has only played 17 games since joining Cardiff at the start of last season. With this latest injury, it looks like he won’t be back until at least 2025. Fans are starting to wonder if they’ll see him in a Cardiff shirt again, especially since his contract is up at the end of the season.
When asked if Ramsey would play again this term, Riza was pretty cautious. He emphasized the importance of getting Ramsey fit first before even thinking about when he might play. It’s all about taking it slow and not putting any pressure on him.
Riza also mentioned that there are ongoing talks about Ramsey’s future and contract situation. He’s one of 13 players whose contracts are expiring next June. It’s frustrating for everyone involved, but Riza is determined to help Ramsey through this tough time.
In the end, it’s not just about football; these players are people too. Riza believes Ramsey will get through this, and then they can figure out what’s next for him.
