Alebiosu out for 'three to four months' - Mowbray
Blackburn boss Tony Mowbray confirms Ryan Alebiosu will be out for "three to four months" with injury after his side's 2-1 victory over West Ham United.
Blackburn Rovers' manager Tony Mowbray has announced that right-back Ryan Alebiosu will be sidelined for three to four months due to injury. The 24-year-old started 14 out of Blackburn's 15 Championship matches this season but suffered a knee injury during their 2-1 defeat to West Ham United on Saturday. Alebiosu had to be substituted in the first half of that match.
Following a scan on Wednesday, Mowbray revealed that the prognosis is not promising, and the player is likely to undergo surgery. Mowbray stated that it could be three or four months, potentially extending beyond that timeframe. Alebiosu expressed his devastation on social media. The loss of such a versatile player who can swiftly join the attack will undoubtedly be a significant blow to the team.
Mowbray emphasized that Alebiosu will need to demonstrate immense discipline and put in the necessary effort to recover by the following year.
