Wolves defender Otto out for the season after suffering injury

Wolves wing-back, Jonny Otto, is out for the rest of the season after injuring his ACL for the second time in eight months.

The injury happened in training on Sunday ahead of the Wolves’ Premier League match with West Ham on Monday night.

It was to the same knee he damaged last August in a Europa League match against Olympiakos.

The 27-year-old Spain international returned from that injury in February and has played seven times in the league this season.

He has been capped three times for the national side but the injury will mean he will be unavailable for the 2020 UEFA European Football Championship this summer.

The Wolves’ website said: “Jonny has suffered a reinjury to his right knee in training on Sunday. He will need surgery to the MCL and again to the ACL.

“He then gets brought off again against Liverpool. This is your star man getting taken off in the last two games on the back of me wanting to see a reaction.

“I think there will be a big worry at Arsenal and for Mikel Arteta that they may have another Mesut Ozil situation where they give someone a big contract at £300,000 or £350,000-a-week. Good luck to him, but you’ve got to justify that.

“Next season and in these coming months that will be going through the manager’s mind. Have we got another situation like that because what he is producing right now is nowhere near good enough considering how good a player he is and also what Arsenal have invested in him.”
