Darius Vassell: Sidelined through injury

Sky Bet

Leicester City star Darius Vassell is set to miss the rest of the season through injury.

The 31-year-old has undergone surgery on his knee and is set to be sidelined for six months.

The England international was injured against West Ham late last month, with scans confirming he has torn his medial meniscus and ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament.

Leicester hope he will be back in action by May, but they expect him to miss the rest of the season.
