Axel Tuanzebe - Nearly losses thumb Tuanzebe nearly lost his thumb following a kitchen accident that required surgery and left him out for Saturday's match, according to manager Kieran McKenna, per Sami Mokbel of Dai... Impact Tuanzebe's injury was downplayed when initially reported as a hand issue, with it now being revealed that the defender cut his hand while doing dishes, causing a deep laceration on his thumb that would've resulted in the loss of his thumb if it wasn't for surgery. He has now completed surgery and, unfortunately, will miss a decent chunk of time due to the issues. He will hope for a return sometime in November, with Ben Johnson as his likely replacement until fit again.
