“It’s all happened so quickly so I’m just letting it sink in, and I’ll just focus on staying fit.
“Most football clubs don’t know what’s going on at the moment and there’s just so much uncertainty. I’ve just got to wait and see and play it by ear, but I’ll be ready for what comes next.”
For the time being, Watmore is focusing on maintaining his fitness – having seen some real signs of progression in recent months.
