Injury News: Concerns Grow About Severity Of Ezri Konsa Knee Injury

You have to start wondering who broke the mirror after an injury season that

seemed to go on forever, involving Tyrone Mings and Emiliano Buendia missing entire seasons.

Ezri Konsa’s situation is the most recent worry. The defender is the most recent player to wind up in the physio room,

long-overdue call-up to the England team.

catastrophic knee injury, is still not a regular starter. As an alternative, Emery

could utilize a promising educational resource. Kesler-Hayden Kaine, who was

unexpectedly called back from a loan stint at Plymouth earlier this month.
