Eastleigh Football Club can confirm that Deji Sotona has suffered an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury.

The winger sustained the injury during the second-half of Eastleigh’s 2-0 win over Maidenhead on Saturday 10 August, with a subsequent scan on his right knee revealing the extent of the injury.

Although there is no definitive timescale for his return, it is likely that the winger will miss the remainder of the 2024/25 season.

Everyone at the Club wishes Deji the best and we will continue to support him through each step of his recovery.

Manager, Kelvin Davis, commented on the news: “It’s really sad news. It’s a big blow for Deji and the club as well. We will be supporting him the whole way through his rehabilitation process.

“It’s important we look forward with a positive mentality but it’s certainly not good news for us.”
