Bartosz Kapustka Suffers Anterior Cruciate Ligament Damage on Loan Away From Leicester

Leicester City loanee Bartosz Kapustka suffered a Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury, which will end his season and keep him out of the European Under-21 Championships this summer.

The Foxes signed the 22-year-old midfielder from Cracovia Krakow back in August 2016 and he has since been sent out on two separate loan spells with Bundesliga side SC Freiburg and now OH Leuven in Belgium.

In a season where the promising Polish youngster was rebuilding form and gaining consistency, Kapustka had made 21 appearances and had scored three goals. However, after coming on as a substitute against Tubize in the league, he tore a ligament in his knee and will now require surgery meaning a minimum of a few months rehabilitation, according to Wprost.
