Chennaiyin FC midfielder Dhanpal Ganesh out for months after ACL injury!

Indian Super League champions Chennaiyin FC midfielder Dhanpal Ganesh successfully underwent surgery on his left knee at the Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education & Research’s Centre for Sports Science (CSS). The 27-year-old had sustained a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee.

Ganesh will be ruled out for several months and continue his recovery and rehabilitation at CSS.

The Chennaiyin FC No. 17 was a vital cog in last season’s ISL winning team, making 17 appearances in the heart of midfield and scoring two goals. The first of which was the winner in a 2-1 away victory over Bengaluru FC during the league stage and the other coming in a 3-0 semifinal second-leg win over FC Goa at home.
