Speaking via the Express & Star, Taylor said; "At the moment, we're trying to establish what the problem is. That's not us at the football club.
"That's somebody else, external, to make sure Rory gets the best care. We all want him available but at the moment, unfortunately for him, he's not.
"He's got to make sure, and we've got to make sure, that we find out what the issue is and fix it.
"At the moment, as frustrating as it is for me to not have Rory in the squad, it's more frustrating for him.
"I've been there as a player, being injured is the worst part of the job. He can't do what he loves and what he's extremely talented at, which is playing football.
"So, we'll make sure we get him the answers we need, build him back up and get him on the pitch again as soon as possible."
Despite the recent setback, Rory has remained around the first-team squad and even making the trip to away games to cheer his teammates on, something which Matthew Taylor is pleased to see.
Matthew continued; "It tells you just how together the group are in that Rory hasn't been fit but has asked to come to every away game.
