Kieran McKenna
In a recent Premier League match, the Blues faced a significant setback as they suffered a 4-1 defeat against West Ham. The absence of their regular right-back was felt, as the 26-year-old Congolese international, who had started every league game for manager Kieran McKenna’s team, was unavailable due to injury.
After the match, Kieran McKenna addressed the situation regarding the player’s injury.
Kieran McKenna said, “He’s had surgery and will be out for a while. It’s not going to be a couple of weeks, probably longer. There are still discussions with the specialists. He’s naturally a miss with the way he’s started the season. He’s going to be out for a little while. We’re going to have to adjust and regroup as a team.”
In the injured player’s absence, Ben Johnson stepped in at right-back. However, he faced challenges during the match at the London Stadium, contributing to the end of the Blues’ four-match unbeaten streak in a manner that was perceived as a significant setback for the team.
