For my money, he will be a big miss for England. He’s probably England’s best left-back at the moment and they will go to the World Cup with Luke Shaw and someone to cover, maybe Kieran Trippier who has been utilised there before.
We wish Ben a speedy recovery after his heartbreaking news.
Following my ACL injury I worked so hard to make sure I was ready for the World Cup. It has always been a dream of mine. Unfortunately, this won’t be possible following my scan results.
