00:11 supporting the advice of the experts.

00:16 Like I said, we didn't have Lyle available for a month or more even because we tried

00:23 to put him first.

00:25 Part of his rehabilitation is him being in a small environment but doing his job as well,

00:33 playing football.

00:34 That's part of the things that make him happy in life.

00:44 this period just didn't think it was the time yet for Lyle.

00:50 But in the end we're doing, I think collectively, something that is good for ultimately a South

00:56 African human being before we call it a play.

01:02 We're taking care of him, we're looking after him and he'll be ready to perform for his

01:06 country again at some point.

01:09 This is just part of his process."
