Motherwell youngster Kenneth Connolly faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering a broken leg.

The 20-year-old midfielder has made three first-team appearances this season, but will absent for the foreseeable future after suffering the leg break in a reserve-team outing.

"Unfortunately, Kenny Connolly has a fracture on his leg which is going to require an operation," assistant manager Scott Leitch told the club's official website.

"It's a massive blow for the side and the player himself as the very nature of a leg break means the lad will be out for some time."
