Colchester United loanee Jermaine Easter has cut short his stay with the League One club after suffering a knee injury in the 2-1 victory at Leeds United.

The 26-year-old Wales international had scored twice in five appearances for the U's, but has now gone back to parent club Plymouth Argyle to recover.

He told the East Anglian Daily Times: "I've torn medial ligaments and they reckon I will be out of action for six to eight weeks.

"I had the scan on Wednesday and have just received the results. It's frustrating news. I have suffered a grade two tear to the medial ligament.

"I don't know what the future holds after that. Whether I play for Colchester again is probably down to Paul Lambert.

"It's a pity because I felt that I was playing well and was looking forward to scoring some more goals."
