Last updated on .From the section Football
West Brom defender Craig Dawson has been ruled out for two months with a knee injury.
The 27-year-old left the stadium on crutches after colliding with team-mate Allan Nyom in Saturday's Premier League defeat by Southampton.
Scans revealed he tore a knee capsule and suffered a thigh muscle-bleed.
A club statement read: "It's a serious injury but we are heartened that it's already showing an improvement and surgery is not required."
West Brom face leaders Manchester City at The Hawthorns on Saturday.
