Premier League fans react after James Justin suffers an ACL injury

A number of Premier League fans have reacted on Twitter after learning that Leicester City defender James Justin has sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

The versatile full-back suffered the setback during the FA Cup fifth round tie against Brighton & Hove Albion in midweek where he was substituted in the 75th minute.

Following the necessary scans, manager Brendan Rodgers has now told the club’s official website that the 22-year-old has damaged an anterior cruciate ligament in his knee.

“Sadly, for JJ, the scan hasn’t shown up so well, which is a massive blow for us,” he said.
