McCarthy says the Tusker FC forward is still not 100 percent and will get stronger as the tournament continues.

“He is sharp, intelligent, and strong. He’s physically good and skilled, probably more than I was when I was playing. As the tournament progresses, you will start to see glimpses of Benni McCarthy in him because Ryan has all the attributes.
