Monaco forward Jovetic ruptures ACL

Monaco forward Stevan Jovetic has suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament and will miss the rest of the season, the club have confirmed.

Jovetic was substituted in the 84th minute of Monaco's goalless draw against Reims on Saturday and is now set for an extended spell on the sidelines.

A club statement did not estimate when the player might return but confirmed that he would require surgery, bringing a premature end to his campaign.
