But better news for Terriers about defender Chris Lowe
Monday 18 December 2017 13:11, UK
Huddersfield striker Elias Kachunga has been ruled out for up to 12 weeks with a knee ligament injury.
Kachunga opened the scoring with his first Premier League strike in the 4-1 win at Watford on Saturday, but was then stretchered off the pitch in the 19th minute after a collision with Hornets goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes.
Huddersfield revealed on their website that scans confirmed the 25-year-old DR Congo international has damaged his medial collateral ligament, and he is expected to be sidelined for between eight and 12 weeks.
There was better news from the Terriers after it was revealed that defender Chris Lowe has not suffered a broken foot as was first feared.
Lowe suffered the injury following a challenge with Watford's Daryl Janmaat towards the end of the first half at Vicarage Road, but scans have revealed there is no break, and the German is in contention for Saturday's Premier League game at Southampton.
