BRENTFORD star Rico Henry could miss the rest of the season because of an ACL injury.<\/p>\n
He was hoping to break into the England squad ahead of the Euros next summer.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
In the previous Three Lions squad, just one left-back was chosen by Gareth Southgate as Henry narrowly missed out.<\/p>\n
An opportunity opened up for the 26-year-old following an injury to Manchester United's Luke Shaw and Chelsea's poor form with Ben Chilwell in their side.<\/p>\n
Henry went down after 39 minutes following a collision with Kieran Trippier as Brentford went on to lose 1-0 to Newcastle at the weekend.<\/p>\n
He was then taken off on a stretcher in a huge blow for manager Thomas Frank.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The average time it takes for a player to recover from an ACL injury is eight months, meaning he could miss the remainder of the campaign.<\/p>\n
It is the second ligament issue Henry has suffered in his career and last time he was sidelined for just over a year.<\/p>\n
Brentford's head of medical Neil Greig said: "Rico will require surgery in the next week or so and, unfortunately, a prolonged period of recovery.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhilst this is disappointing, Rico has been through a similar experience in the past and is already focused on using this as an opportunity to become fitter and stronger than before.<\/p>\n
