Stevie May: Preston North End striker out for the season
Last updated on .From the section Football
Preston North End striker Stevie May will miss the rest of the season with knee ligament damage.
The 23-year-old Scotland forward will undergo surgery next week.
May joined the Lilywhites from Sheffield Wednesday for an undisclosed in September on a three-year deal and had made eight appearances so far.
"We got the news back yesterday and it is not good news for Stevie, or for us as a football club," manager Simon Grayson told BBC Radio Lancashire.
"He's going to be out for the rest of the season as he has suffered ligament damage and a little bit of other damage in there as well.
"It's going to be a long, drawn out case for him with rehabilitation and it's not nice for anybody to suffer that sort of injury, especially a player who we spent a lot of money on and we're desperate to do well."
