Lanzini to fly back to UK for treatment
The 23-year-old was part of the Argentina squad currently preparing for the Rio Olympics. Argentina’s official twitter account confirmed the injury saying “Manuel Lanzini, before Colombia suffered a sprain in his left knee”
However, it could appear that Lanzini may be missing for a while longer as he is flying back to the UK for further assessment and treatment. David Gold tweeted when asked about the West Ham midfielder’s knock “Expecting Lanzini to return for treatment. dg”
It now looks likely Lanzini will miss out on his Olympic chance in Rio. Let’s hope his knee injury is not too serious and he returns quickly to full fitness ahead of the Premier League season.
