LONDON: West Ham United striker Dean Ashton has been ruled out of action for up to six weeks after suffering a knee ligament injury, the Premier League club said on Tuesday.
Ashton, who returned this season after a year out with a broken ankle sustained in training with England in August 2006, hurt his knee on Saturday and had to pull out of England’s Euro 2008 qualifiers against Estonia on Saturday and Russia next Wednesday.
“We received the results of Dean’s scan and they were what we expected, which is that he had sprained the upper third of his medial ligament,” West Ham’s head physiotherapist George Cooper told the club’s website (www.whufc.com).
“In the majority of cases it will take up to six weeks for full recovery.” – Reuters
