Huddersfield Town boss David Wagner has revealed that midfielder Aaron Mooy faces two weeks on the sidelines with a knee infection.
During last weekend's 4-1 victory over Bournemouth, Mooy sustained a cut on his knee and although not deemed to be serious, the Australian international picked up an infection in the days which followed.
Wagner has acknowledged that Mooy will miss the FA Cup fifth-round tie with Manchester United, but the Terriers head coach has suggested that his star man could return to the first-team before the end of the month.
At a press conference, the German told reporters: "It is only a cut, but unfortunately there was an infection when he got his stitches. This means there is a slight setback but nothing serious.
"He will miss the next two games, this is for sure. Maybe Tottenham as well but then he will be back. It is not something where ligaments or muscles are damaged.
"This is unlucky in this situation that he will be out for two weeks, maybe three. I am always sad if players are injured, especially Aaron who played at a very level against Bournemouth. He was back to his best."
Mooy has scored four goals in 29 outings in all competitions this season.
