Just saying you have absolutely no idea what sort of pregnancy it has been or what the situation is now. He's clearly joined here and it's been fine living further away, and then all of a sudden close to the birth of his child he's being asked to spend more time away than he usually would.
I'm willing to bet that very few players live within 30 minutes of the training ground, so what difference does it make unless he's been using travel as a reason to leave early or something.
He's been absolutely shite recently so I'm not that bothered about him being axed, but let's not lose sight of reality.
