‘I’m fine. I’ve just got a bit of soft-tissue damage in my knee, but it feels all right,’ said Power.
‘I’ve got plenty of movement in it, just plenty of bruising. Hopefully, it will be fine in a couple of days or so.
‘I’ll see what I’m like in the morning, but hopefully it’s not too bad and I’ll be back in midweek.’
