Sheffield Wednesday boss Stuart Gray has revealed that forward Caolan Lavery will be out of action for two months with knee ligament damage.

The 21-year-old suffered the injury on Sunday during his side's 2-2 draw with Doncaster Rovers in pre-season.

Lavery is now expected to be on the sidelines until around the end of September while he recovers from the problem.

"They call it like a car crash injury. We thought it might be [anterior cruciate ligament], but it's not. It's going to be a couple of months," Owls boss Stuart Gray is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.

Lavery scored three goals in eight games during a loan spell with Plymouth Argyle last season.
