Lennon laments devastating Mouyokolo injury blow

Neil Lennon believes summer signing Steven Mouyokolo has suffered “horrendous luck” with the complete rupture of an Achilles tendon which will sideline him for six months.

The Hoops boss confirmed that the 26-year-old defender returned to France, where he has had surgery on the injury picked up at training on Monday. Mouyokolo has made just two starts since signing for the Scottish champions in July, following his comeback from a cruciate ligament injury.

He was a free agent after his contract with Wolves was terminated by mutual consent in January and was handed a one-year deal by the Parkhead club after impressing on trial during their pre-season trip to Germany and Austria.
