Last week we brought you the awful news that Ryan Sessegnon had injured his right hamstring during a U21 match that he was playing in order to regain match fitness after recovering from another long-term injury. Today, the club gave a brief update to confirm that Sess has undergone surgery for that right hamstring.

There isn’t much more I can say about Sess and his injury that wasn’t already covered in my article last week. It’s incredibly tragic and continues to affect a career that for Sess probably feels completely snakebit. The irony is that this hamstring is the one on the opposite leg to the one he injured this past July that also required surgery.
I suggested last week that Sess might want to start thinking about retirement. I honestly don’t know for sure whether that’s the right decision or not, but it sure does feel like his body just can’t handle the strain of professional football. I hope he has some other marketable skills like business management or coding because IDK he might need them.
