 Lundekvam's absence is a huge blow to Southampton |
Southampton captain Claus Lundekvam is set to be sidelined until at least the end of February after having surgery to reconstruct an ankle tendon. The Norwegian defender, 34, suffered the ligament injury in the final league game of last season against Southend and has not featured in this campaign.
He returned during pre-season but has since been troubled by the problem.
Southampton manager George Burley told the club website: "It is a major blow, losing Claus for so long."
Lundekvam tried injections and rest as part of his treatment but it failed to cure the problem.
