Official: Berisha season is over for Lecce after devastating injury

This is a bitter blow for the Salentini and their hopes of avoiding relegation into Serie B , as he is one of their most talented players.

He had been out of action since December 12, when stretchered off 11 minutes into the win over Pisa .
Just as Berisha was preparing to make his comeback, he suffered another injury in training on Saturday.

A statement from the club confirms that today's tests showed a lesion to the tendon in the rectus femoris in the right leg.
This is in a different area to the previous injury, albeit on the same leg, and he will fly to Finland on Wednesday for a specialist consultation with Professor Lempainem.

Surgery is a likely solution to this latest problem, and the statement warns that in any case, he will not be back on the pitch again during this season.
Berisha had only managed to make 14 competitive appearances for Lecce this season, contributing two goals and three assists.
The 22-year-old has four senior caps for Albania.
