"For Youssef, he is very young, and it will be difficult for him to accept it. Such is life; one moment you're flying high and the next you have to face this.
"He is on his way to London to see a specialist and hopefully next week go through his operation. A real tough one for the bow and the club. The only saving grace is it's happened in the window, and we have a chance to react to that.
"The plan was to keep him, but the club rejected a big number. It's done, and the plan was for him to be a big part for us."
