Ted’s case
Main issues in this case
The main issue that is affecting Ted Jackson, in this case, is the injury which he got while playing his favorite game. The damage was too bad hence led him to miss out matches for several months, which made his coach look for his replacement. Because of the injury, the coach thinks that he cannot get back to his original form; thus he does not include him in the starting lineup.
