Huddersfield midfielder Philip Billing has undergone ankle surgery and will be out for around three months, the club have confirmed.

The Denmark Under-21 international was taken off on a stretcher during the recent Premier League defeat at Swansea after turning his ankle and further tests highlighted ligament damage.

'Scans have subsequently revealed that Philip will undergo surgical management of the lateral ligament complex of his right ankle,' the Terriers said on their official website.

Philip Billing has seven appearances for Huddersfield in their first Premier League campaign

'Following his surgery, Philip will be out for approximately 12 weeks and will work closely with the medical team and fitness department.'

Billing, who joined the club's academy at the age of 17, has made a total of nine appearances for David Wagner's side this season, including seven in the Premier League.

Wagner added: 'Phil has had surgery on his ankle (on Wednesday) and we would all like to wish him a speedy recovery.

'The focus now is to help him return fitter and stronger than before, so he is ready to help us for the rest of the Premier League season.'

Huddersfield beat Manchester United 2-1 last time out at the John Smith's Stadium to secure their third Premier League win of the season. They travel to Anfield to face Liverpool on Saturday.
