I know he's not an easy guy to track down in the winter.

He's always a bright-side type of guy. He feels he's going to be fine and ready and this is small problem.

I'm not prepared to say the diagnosis other than he tweaked his back. He had some stiffness.

We are not permitted to comment on it,

I'm not going to say it's unfair because both teams have to go through it. But it's unfortunate. I don't like it. But there's nothing we can do about it.

It will not be easy - but he's done it before and he is the right guy.
