Aaron Mooy injury: Premier League star out three weeks with leg gash infection

AARON Mooy’s Huddersfield Premier League manager has just given an injury update on Aaron Mooy, after the Socceroos star suffered a leg gash. It will keep him out of some major clashes.

Huddersfield's Australian midfielder Aaron Mooy is injured.

SOCCEROOS midfielder Aaron Mooy could be sidelined for up to three weeks due to an infection following a knee injury he picked up in Huddersfield’s 4-1 Premier League win over Bournemouth.

Mooy will miss Saturday’s FA Cup fifth round clash with Manchester United as well as league trips to West Bromwich Albion and possibly Tottenham Hotspur.

“It is only a cut, but unfortunately there was an infection when he got his stitches,” said Huddersfield boss David Wagner.

Aaron Mooy suffered a nasty leg gash.

“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.”

Huddersfield's Australian midfielder Aaron Mooy is stretchered off.

Mooy, who has featured in all 27 of Huddersfield’s league matches this season, struck the opener when they beat United 2-1 earlier this season and has been the driving force in their midfield.

Socceroos fans had their hearts in their mouths when he suffered his leg injury but barring major ongoing complications, the injury seemingly should not affect his World Cup preparation.
