"He has had a lot of trouble with his injuries, but I hope he's behind him now," Lewtas said. "He had a two-week break with his clbadmates at the age of 15, which of course delayed him.
"We think of everyone here, and having these setbacks at the time, it was really difficult for him. He has rebounded brilliantly this season. "
