Sunderland's Duncan Watmore out for rest of the season with injury

Sunderland forward Duncan Watmore is set to miss the rest of the season after scans revealed a cruciate ligament injury suffered in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Leicester City.

Watmore, 22, was stretchered off after a clash with Leicester's Christian Fuchs during the win over the Foxes at the weekend.

He has since visited a specialist in London and is now facing an extended period on the sidelines.

Sunderland said in a statement: "Sunderland boss David Moyes has confirmed that Duncan Watmore is likely to miss the rest of the Black Cats' season following the results of his scan on Monday.
