Manchester City midfielder Claudio Reyna will be sidelined for at least six weeks with a broken ankle. The 32-year-old has been playing with the injury for two months but recent scans have only just revealed the full extent of the problem.
"It has been really sore and it didn't feel right," Reyna told the club website. "I couldn't train and I was just trying to get through games."
Reyna will now head to the Netherlands - where he will undergo surgery.
The United States captain is unlikely to be in Premiership action again until City tackle Liverpool at Anfield on 26 February.
