00:00Steve had an incident in the game with his plantar fascia.

00:04In a lot of ways it's a positive incident because it's a tear that helps the recovery.

00:11So he's actually feeling a lot better in terms of his plantar fascia today than what he did last week.

00:17We're hopeful that he'll get up for Thursday and be right to go on the weekend.

00:21So in some ways an incident that is pretty painful at the time can be real positive moving forward.

00:27You know, speaking to him today, he feels a lot better about where it sits.

00:32Obviously it's painful for the first 24, 48 hours postgame.

00:35Today it's better again and we're expecting him to be able to train and obviously assess him on Thursday.

00:41Make sure he's right to go and we won't take a risk with him.

00:44But, you know, everything that indicates where it's at that he'll be right to play.
