Buchanan said: “As you get older you do feel the aches and pains a little bit more. You’ve just got to listen to your body.

I know my body better than anybody, but I’ll listen to the sports scientists and physios here and work before and after training to strengthen any little weaknesses.

I do my own daily routine of stretching, foam rollering, anything I can do to make sure I’m right for a matchday.”
