Leeds United transfer verdict emerges post Callum O’Hare ACL injury
Callum O’Hare will still be feeling the after-effects of his ACL injury from December 2022 as Leeds United look to sign him, according to Dr Rajpal Brar.
The injury expert claims that it will take him 18 months to return to pre-injury fitness and any club considering a move for him will have to keep that in mind.
This comes after TEAMtalk reported on 13 June that the Whites were eyeing a move for the 26-year-old attacking midfielder, who’s now available on a free transfer.
Speaking exclusively to MOT Leeds News, Brar, a specialist in Physical Therapy and Sports Scientist, said about O’Hare:
“He had an ACL rupture at the end of 2022 but did not recover until September and next played in October.
“He still will be feeling the after-effects but that will be the normal effects after missing 10 months with a serious injury as it takes 18 months for players to return to pre-injury fitness.
“It takes considerable time to regain full match fitness, rhythm and confidence so any club signing him will have to keep that in mind.“
Leeds United must explore deal to seal Callum O’Hare transfer
Signing O’Hare on a free transfer would be a move for Leeds as he is a proven performer, having scored 10 goals and provided four assists in the 2023/24 season in all competitions for Coventry.
His versatility and ability to play in multiple positions would provide Leeds with additional depth and flexibility.
Furthermore, as a free agent, O’Hare would not command a transfer fee, allowing the Whites to allocate their resources elsewhere.
This would be particularly beneficial given Leeds’ financial situation and the need to strengthen the squad following their play-off final defeat.
