Jordan Morris ruptured the ACL in his right leg three years ago during a match in the colours of Seattle Sounders in the MLS. The situation is very unfortunate for the American attacker, who was loaned to Swansea City by Seattle Sounders for the rest of this season last month. He suffered the serious injury during the 4-1 loss to Huddersfield Town at the weekend as Welsh team Swansea City saw their Premier League promotion bid take a big hit.
