Asked at a press conference whether the new signing, Petermass, would be playing in the big match on Saturday, the manager replied: "Only if Fredericks isn't fit"

Three Journalist present noted the noted the announcement as follows:

Jed wrote: "If Fredericks is fit, Petermass won't be playing"

Ned Wrote: "If Fredericks isn't fit, Petermass will be playing"

Ted wrote: "If Petermass doesn't play it'll mean Fredericks is fit"

Which of the got it right?

Answer says is only Jed.

My question is why not Jed and Ned?

Basically what the manager said is the only way Petermass will be playing is if Fredericks is not fit. So if Fredericks is not fit, he may play, or still may not. However if Fredericks is fit, there is no chance he’ll be playing in the match.
