# Leeds: Ben Dinnery makes Crysencio Summerville injury claim

**Injury expert Ben Dinnery believes that [Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) winger Crysencio Summerville may have a ligament problem following his ankle injury, as per [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/leeds-united-star-summerville-may-have-ligament-damage-dinnery/).**

### The Lowdown: Summerville out for the season

Summerville is among a [number](https://www.premierinjuries.com/injury-table.php) of Leeds players sidelined for the rest of the season and therefore hasn’t travelled with the squad for this afternoon’s crucial clash with Arsenal.

The 20-year-old picked up an ankle injury at Thorp Arch before the draw with Crystal Palace at the end of April. Jesse Marsch [revealed](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/crysencio-summervilles-season-over-jesse-23811806) that the youngster “twisted” his ankle, describing the season-ending problem as “disappointing”.

### The Latest: Dinnery’s comments on Summerville injury

Dinnery, who contributes for [Sky Sports](https://mobile.twitter.com/bendinnery?lang=en), was talking to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/leeds-united-star-summerville-may-have-ligament-damage-dinnery/) regarding Summerville’s injury.

The injury expert stated that it isn’t impossible that the Dutch youth international has picked up an ‘avulsion fracture caused by a ligament problem’, which could keep him out for months. He outlined:

> “This was a training ground injury on the eve of the Crystal Palace match.
>
> “We have no mechanism of injury to go off. The terminology used gives us an indication that it isn’t too serious. There is no indication it will need surgery.
>
> “If we were looking at the high end of the spectrum, it could be an avulsion fracture caused by a ligament problem. That would be months out.
>
> “We can’t categorically rule that out. But based on what we know, a return to be fit for pre-season is more than realistic.”

### The Verdict: Fingers crossed

Leeds fans may well have seen the last of Summerville in a Whites shirt, with rumours continuing over his future following his [failed](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/crysencio-summerville-hamburg-approach-january-transfer-window/) move to Hamburg in January.

Both [Hamburg](https://www.getfootballnewsgermany.com/2022/hamburg-expected-to-try-again-for-leeds-united-winger-crysencio-summerville/) and [Rangers](https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/spfl/scottish-premiership/rangers-leading-crysencio-summerville-transfer-23641659) have been heavily linked with the attacker in recent months, and he could depart Elland Road in search of regular game-time.

Only time will tell, but hopefully his ankle injury isn’t as serious as Dinnery claims it could be and that he will be fully fit for pre-season ahead of Marsch’s first full campaign in charge.
