The 21-year-old reveals the pain he went through after suffering an injury that kept him out of action for ten months

Nigeria youth star Tom Dele-Bashiru has explained how a long-term injury he suffered last season helped him to improve on and off the pitch.

The 21-year-old sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury last October while turning out for Watford against Reading at the Select Car Leasing Stadium in the EFL Championship, which later ruled him out of action for the rest of the 2020-21 campaign.

After recovering from the injury, Watford loaned him out for a season-long deal to Reading for the current campaign.
