Headline: Blackburn’s Ryan Alebiosu Out for Up to Four Months Due to Injury
Blackburn manager Tony Mowbray announced that right-back Ryan Alebiosu will be sidelined for “three to four months” due to an injury sustained during a recent match. This update follows Blackburn’s hard-fought 2-1 victory against West Ham United on Saturday.
Alebiosu, who has been a regular starter, featuring in 14 of Blackburn’s 15 Championship matches this season, suffered a knee injury during last week’s defeat at the hands of Stoke City. He was forced to leave the field in the first half of that match.
Mowbray shared the news of Alebiosu’s condition during an interview with BBC Radio Lancashire. “He had a scan on Wednesday, and it’s not good news for us or for him,” the manager stated. He indicated that Alebiosu may require surgery, with a recovery period expected to push into the new year.
Describing the situation as a tough break for the team, Mowbray emphasized Alebiosu’s contributions on the field, noting his exceptional ability to cover ground and support offensive plays. Mowbray added that Alebiosu will need to stay disciplined and committed to his recovery efforts during this period.
