Explaining Bernd Leno’s injury, post-injury performance, and why it’s a best case scenario : Gunners
Hey everyone – in this video, I explained Leno’s right knee injury, return timeline, performance and long-term impacts, and why the diagnosis is the best case scenario. The injury may also be a sprain of the outer layer of the knee capsule but that changes none of the other points. Lastly – I’m still waiting on more info/confirmation on Martinelli.
