Coventry City midfielder Wesley Jobello has confirmed that he will miss the rest of the season after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament.

The French-born midfielder has started 10 games for the Sky Blues this season since joining from GFC Ajaccio in the summer, scoring in City's 3-2 win over Blackpool at St. Andrews.

But the 25-year-old will now be out of action until beyond the end of the campaign as the club suffered their third ACL setback of 2019-20.

Development players Dan Bartlett and Reise Alassani have both already been ruled out for the season, with Bartlett this week undergoing successful surgery to repair a ligament tear.

The club have had little fortune with ACL injuries in recent seasons with Jodi Jones and Tony Andreu both suffering similar injuries that cost them months on the sidelines.

"I regret to announce my premature end to the season again. I have injured my ACL," confirmed Jobello on Instagram.

"I will fight again to return as soon as possible and I wish the very best to my team, Coventry City, for the rest of the season."

Jobello's absence will leave a void in the Sky Blues side for this afternoon's trip to face Rotherham United in League One, but CoventryLive understands that popular midfielder Jones is a matter of weeks away from returning to the fold as he continues his fight-back from an identical injury.
