Shrimpers star faces long lay-off

The 24-year-old picked up the injury in Friday's 3-1 defeat to the Saints and will now visit a specialist to determine the length of his absence. "Osei's knee really swelled up after Friday's match with Southampton," United physio John Stannard told his club's official website. "His knee had caused him some discomfort for a few weeks but we only learned of the problem at the weekend. "A scan on Monday showed that he has a serious injury and we will await the specialists' views as to how we move forward with treatment."
