Jobson said: "She is making a solid recovery. But we're going to have to look at this in a different way going forward.
"In the past people have said, 'When will she be going back to work? Is she going to be full-time in the autumn?' I don't think so. She's going to have to pick and choose how she completes her comeback. If there is a comeback in that form anyway."
