Legia Warsaw’s hands are a bit tied during the winter transfer window. In order for the club to make any moves, someone must first leave, which was explained by director Jacek Zieliñski. – The situation is simple. If someone leaves, a place on the payroll becomes available and then I can make moves to the club. Much more will happen in the summer. The next transfer window will be a huge challenge for us. Legia also does not have the best news before the start of the second part of the season.
A longer break for the defender of Legia Warsaw. Bad news for Kosta Runjaic
The portal informs about the injury of Lindsay Rose, which he contracted during the training camp in Belek, Turkey. The Mauritian defender left training on January 13 and was injured in a sparring match against Chemnitzer (3-2) the next day. In addition, Rose did not play in the match against FC Magdeburg (2: 2). Legia Warszawa informed in an official statement that the defender underwent arthroscopy of the knee joint. “Planned return to the training cycle in about 6 weeks” – we read in the release.
It is worth adding that earlier Lindsay Rose was being considered for a transfer to the French second division. The media mentioned some time ago about interest from AS Saint-Etienne and FC Metz. The injury rather definitively closes the path of Rose’s transfer to France. The injury of the Mauritius representative means that Kosta Runjaic will only have Maik Nawrocki, Rafał Augustyniak and Artur Jędrzejczyk from among the nominal central defenders. Earlier, the Romanian media reported that Andre Duarte could strengthen this position in Legia, forcing him to transfer from FC U Craiova 1948.
Legia Warszawa will return to Ekstraklasa on Sunday, January 29. Then the team led by Kosta Runjaic will play against Korona Kielce. Legia is second in the Ekstraklasa with 32 points and is nine points behind the leader Raków Częstochowa. Lindsay Rose joined Legia Warsaw in July 2021 for PLN 600,000. euros from Aris Thessaloniki. Since then, the defender has made 40 appearances, scoring three goals. His contract with Legia is valid until the end of June 2024.
