Nigel Pearson has confirmed youngster Ayman Benarous has suffered a devastating set-back by rupturing his ACL for a second time which will rule him out for the remainder of the 2022/23 season.
The City playmaker, 19, was closing in on a comeback following his first ACL injury in May and was targeting a return to action around Christmas. It's a cruel blow for the player with the club initially really positive about the timeframe of his return.
Speaking to Robins TV, Pearson confirmed: "Ayman has, unfortunately, had a second rupture of his ACL so he's had surgery again and that's his season done.
