He expressed disappointment for Cortes, citing his good mentality and ambition, while emphasizing that football can be unpredictable. The manager hopes for a quick recovery and continues to support Cortes' future at the club, stating that the player has the necessary qualities to make an impact when fit. Overall, Clement's faith in Cortes is unwavering, despite the financial pressures to make smart transfers in the current market.
