Sunderland winger Carlos Edwards faces another spell on the sidelines after suffering a broken leg in the 1-0 victory over Derby County last weekend.

The 29-year-old Trinidad & Tobago international has been restricted to a handful of appearances this season and could now be absent for another six weeks.

Edwards told TTFF Media: "It wasn't the start I was hoping for in the Premier League with the injuries, but these things happen and I've just got to move on and try to catch my form again after the injury heals.

"It took me three months to get back into the team and I must say this taught me a lot. I was patient before and now I have to wait a bit more again."

His agent, Mike Berry, added: "The good thing is that it's a clean break with no other complications as such, so it will take him about six weeks before he can be back on the pitch.

"It's been a nightmare for him. He got over the hamstring injury and came back against Everton and then got injured again versus Derby."
