Huddersfield Town striker Elias Kachunga could be ruled out for up to 12 weeks with a serious knee ligament injury, the Premier League club said on Monday.

Kachunga scored his first league goal of the season as Huddersfield beat Watford 4-1 on Saturday but left the pitch on a stretcher shortly after his sixth-minute opener following a collision with Watford goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes.

“Subsequent scans have confirmed that Kache has damaged his medial collateral ligament and, ahead of a visit to a specialist on Monday, he is expected to be sidelined for an estimated 8-12 weeks,” Huddersfield said on their website.

Left back Chris Lowe, who was substituted after a foot injury in the first half, has not suffered a broken bone as feared and will be available for Saturday’s trip to 12th-placed Southampton. Huddersfield are 11th in the table.
