2) Lokonga suffered a serious injury
After rarely being used in the opening months of the 2018/19 campaign, the Belgian managed to break back into the first team by early November 2018. Unfortunately, it wasn’t long before he was on the sidelines again.
Against Cercle Brugge in December, Lokonga suffered a cruciate ligament injury that kept him out for the remainder of the season. He only returned to play regularly at the end of September 2019; almost ten months later.
