AARON RAMSEY has not returned to club side Nice since Wales’ World Cup exit a month ago.
Manager Lucien Favre said the ex-Arsenal and Juventus midfielder had found the Dragons’ group stage KO in Qatar “hard to digest”.
Ramsey, 32, has not played since Wales’ final group game on 29 November – a 3-0 defeat by England.
Favre said: “He is taking his time to really recover – that’s it.
“He was very disappointed with the World Cup.”
Ramsey, who has 78 Wales caps, started for Robert Page’s side in all three matches in Qatar – the nation’s first World Cup finals appearance since 1958.
