AEW star Kris Statlander has provided a major update on the knee injury she suffered on the latest episode of Dynamite.
Statlander took to Twitter yesterday to announce that she needs to get her knee fixed and apologized to the wrestling universe for "letting them down once again."
It should be noted that the 27-year-old suffered her first knee injury (a torn ACL) in June 2020 before returning in March the following year. She also stated that she would be back better than ever.
After confirming her injury two days back, Statlander posted a workout video where she gave out more information about her injuries and revealed that she would require surgery.
In the Instagram video below, Statlander revealed that she suffered a "completely torn ACL and lateral meniscus." She also mentioned that the workout was designed to help her maintain maximum strength to reduce any post-operation atrophy.
