- Physical duelling — Strength and aerial dominance are among the standout traits of his classic centre-back profile.
Development Areas
- Long-term injury — Out of action for an extended period due to a recurring Achilles tendon issue.
- Form uncertain — How quickly he regains his previous level after surgery remains unclear.
