Fletcher out of season

The mid-fielder Darren Fletcher seems to be taking break for health reasons. He has had several absence periods in the past seasons for suffering from ulcerative colitis. Darren was actually able to maintain remission of symptoms for some time, as his desire to play and loyalty to both his club and country was high. Yet, he now accepted medical advice to take an extended break for full recovery in the future. It's a huge loss that he is gone for the rest of the season, since no one in the squad can replace Darren's position. Hope his condition gets better.
