This mechanism brings concern for an MCL injury. Contact from outside of the knee, causes an inward force to Konate's right leg.

Potential Recovery Time: Grade 1: 1-2 weeks. Grade 2: 3-6 weeks. Grade 3: 6-10 weeks. "Based on the video, it may seem like he will miss some time out. Scans will be needed in order to confirm this. Physio was seen doing tests on the right knee, which would confirm our suspicions.""Scans will be needed to determine the extent of the injury, as it is hard to analyse time lengths for muscle injuries. Didn't seem like a serious mechanism, but more tightness or smaller strain."said: "It’s difficult to judge so soon after the game.
