It happened in August 2016, he was till rehabbing. And him supporting the team from the stands is utterly useless, personally I would allow players to be with their family especially when it's something that can be difficult to schedule in normal circumstance but I'm likely a lunatic.yeah that was the whole issue at the time, Mourinho didn’t think he was injured.. and if he was, he could still have supported the team right?
Also he was already ostracized and demoted by Mourinho.
