Sunderland Head Coach Tony Mowbray has confirmed Jewison Bennette has suffered a dislocated shoulder whilst on international duty with Costa Rica.
The 18-year-old is expected to miss the rest of the season after suffering the injury in training as they made preparations for their CONCACAF Nations League tie against Panama on Wednesday morning.
Bennette has made 18 appearances for the Lads this season scoring two goals.
Mowbray said: “Jewi has dislocated his shoulder. I think he is finished for the season. It probably needs an operation and pinning.
“With dislocations, you can think you are alright the first time you fall over. Then you do it again and it’s another three months out.”
Bennette is currently travelling back from Costa Rica back to the UK where he will be treated by the Club’s medical department upon his arrival.
“We’ll assess it once he gets back in the building but from their medical department, the update is he has dislocated his shoulder in training” Mowbray added.
Speedy recovery, Jewi!
