Shane Duffy set to be left out of next Ireland squad as he struggles for gametime via IrishTimesSport
“My take on it is this,” said Kenny. “At the time [signing for Fulham], on paper he was delighted with the move. They had two center backs, Tosin [Adarabioyo] and [Tim] Ream, who had been in the Championship, who were not proven Premier League players.
“He went to Fulham and he’s thinking, ‘Right they’ve two defenders who played in the Championship; they’re going to start. They’re unproven at this level. I’ll take my chance. With an injury, I’ll get a chance.’ The following week, they signed [Issa] Diop from West Ham for £13m. That meant he was one of four.
“He played in the FA Cup against Sunderland [in February], his first proper game of the year. Didn’t play against Leeds the other night. It’s been far from ideal for Shane.” “We didn’t envisage Evan Ferguson coming on so quickly but neither did we envisage Nathan not playing after emerging so quickly. Things are sometimes unpredictable because in my opinion Nathan has played well but has found himself out of the team. He’s been excellent for us and has played a lot of games this year.”
