    A strong training-ground partnership is behind this. The bond between them was already strong, so the morale hit should be limited.

    Settling-in period is still under way.
  2. Settling well in a culturally familiar country

    Minor
    Cause
    The country and culture suit him.; A move home or to a favoured club has been linked.
