Christophe Henrotay: “[Dalian saying Carrasco skipped trainings/games for no reason?] I don’t get it. Carrasco had discomfort in his knees after the international duty. He stayed in Belgium to get treatment. The club have received medical reports that proved it.” Christophe: “The punishments imposed on Carrasco will not solve the deep rooted issues. The situation you see now is a result of the club failing to tackle the source of the problem. They don’t put themselves in the player’s shoes. The leaders need to step forward & deal with it”
