Kyel Reid will be out for SIX weeks, it has been confirmed today.

The City winger suffered a groin injury in the first half of Tuesday's goalless draw at Rochdale.

Reid went for a scan yesterday which confirmed that he has torn the tendon - and now faces a spell on the sidelines until the end of next month.

Boss Phil Parkinson said: "He fell awkwardly in the tackle and a bit of tendon came away from the bone in the top of the groin area.

"It’s a big blow for us but once again we’ve got other players waiting for their chance to come in. That’s what the squad is for.
 

“You expect to get injuries throughout the season and you’ve got to deal with them. We will do.
 

“We’ve got good players to come in and they’ve got to grab hold of the opportunity, like Ricky Ravenhill did on Tuesday."
