Swansea defender Kyle Bartley ruled out for two months after damaging knee ligament against MK Dons

Swansea centre back Kyle Bartley is out for up to eight weeks after damaging a knee ligament in Tuesday's 4-1 League Cup win over MK Dons.

The 26-year-old, who played in all three of Swansea's games so far this season, landed awkwardly after a challenge in the 80th minute and was taken off on a stretcher.

Swansea said on their website that the Englishman had damaged his medial ligament and would see a specialist next week.
