Shoulder pains continued until he was further diagnosed in 2019 with a ‘posterior labral tear of his left shoulder,’ which means that the cartilage around his left shoulder joint has been torn. Since then, he has continued to receive various treatment to prevent his injury from affecting his activities'' the statement reads.
