Manchester City's Craig Bellamy to miss rest of season with knee injury
Wales striker Bellamy, 29, has missed City's last three games with the injury, but scans performed in London last week have highlighted damaged fibres in the knee, prompting the diagnosis of two weeks' rest for the former Newcastle, Liverpool and West Ham forward.
City manager Mark Hughes said: "Craig has got to have complete rest for two weeks and then he comes back for strength work. Hopefully he might get the last couple of games, but the probability is that he won't."
Bellamy has been a major success at Eastlands since his £10m arrival from West Ham in January, netting five goals for Hughes's team. But with just a month of the season left to play, he is facing a race against time to return to fitness in order to help City's push for a European spot.
Pablo Zabaleta (hamstring) and Shaun Wright-Phillips (knee) are both expected to be fit to return before the final game of the season at home to Bolton on May 24, however.
