Huddersfield Town’s Aaron Mooy ruled out with a medial ligament injury until February
The 28-year-old injured his right knee during the Terriers' 1-0 loss to Arsenal at the weekend
Huddersfield Town have confirmed midfielder Aaron Mooy will be out of action until at least February with a knee injury.
Mooy, 28, suffered a tear to his medial collateral ligament in his right knee during the 1-0 defeat at Arsenal on Saturday.
After the match, the Australian midfielder posted a picture on Instagram of his knee in a support brace with three thumbs down emojis.
After meeting with a consultant on Tuesday they confirmed he will be out until at least the new year - meaning he will miss the 2019 Asian Cup with Australia.
Mooy, who could miss up to 10 games for the Terriers, said: “I’m gutted to be missing an important time for club and country.
“We’ve got a lot of fixtures over the Christmas period at Huddersfield Town, but I back the team to continue our good performances and get the results that we’re targeting.
“I’m also sad that this injury will rule me out of the Asian Cup. I’d like to wish the Socceroos all the best as they head to the UAE.
"I’ll be supporting them from afar.
“The hard work on my recovery has already started and I’m looking forward to being back out on the pitch.”
