Leke James out for 8 weeks with injury

Striker Leke James will be sidelined for at least eight weeks after he injured his ankle in action for Turkish club Sivasspor.

Leke James suffered the injury during a UEFA Europa Conference League Group G match against Slavia Praha, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

Sivasspor coach Rıza Çalimbay lamented his striker’s injury.

“James cannot play for close to eight weeks. It’s a rough time for him,” he said.

Last season, the experienced striker was sidelined for weeks after a back injury.
