 Lundekvam's career is in danger after 14 years at Saints (Getty) |
Southampton defender Claus Lundekvam is battling to save his career after suffering a recurrence of the injury that has sidelined him this season. The Norwegian tore ankle tendons during a routine running test, and is now considering his future after tests revealed the extent of the damage.
"It is incredible bad luck that has set me back to square one," said the former Saints club captain.
"There is no chance of playing again this season."
Lundekvam added: "The ankle has been through a lot over the years and there has been a lot of wear and tear which is stopping it healing properly and I don't want to push it too far.
"I now have to decide where to go from here and also to consider my future life because I don't want to be walking with a limp."
Lundekvam, now 35, has made over 400 appearances for the club since his move back in 1996 from Brann Bergen for just �350,000.
He originally injured the ankle in the final game of last season at home to Southend.
