I've never been very impressed by him.

I don't mean to kick him when he's down, but I don't think this team will miss him much if he's out for a while. I watched him in the 2015 U20 World Cup when his stock was pretty much at its highest, and I came away unsure how others could project him as a star. He plays a decent ball with his right foot, but his left foot is little more than a kickstand. His athleticism is below average, he's not very aggressive with his passing (lots of short sideways/backwards passes), and he has a tendency to dawdle on the ball.

He seems like a nice kid, and I really hope things pan out for him. It isn't time to put him out to pasture, but I just don't see it happening for him. And if this injury is serious, it really won't help.
