Graham Potter expects Aaron Connolly to deal with the disappointment of missing out on international action. The Albion striker is not part of the Republic of Ireland squad to play Portugal and Luxembourg in forthcoming World Cup qualifiers.
Graham Potter said: “He picked up a heel injury after the Leicester game. It was only minor but we just probably felt the game at Liverpool came too soon. It was only a couple of days’ recovery time so that was disappointing for him. I thought he did well against Leicester, worked hard for the team. I imagine he will be frustrated and disappointed not to play for his country because he wants to do that. But, at the same time, he will respect the decision of Stephen. That’s life. You have to accept the coach makes these decisions and that is what Aaron does.”
