Swansea City have confirmed defender Kyle Bartley will be sidelined for the next six weeks at least after suffering medial ligament damage.

The 26-year-old sustained the injury in Tuesday night's Carabao Cup clash with MK Dons and was stretchered off in the 80th minute.

The centre-half will now see a knee specialist, as confirmed by the club on their official website, and get a further assessment on the injury, but the lay-off time at present is estimated at six-eight weeks.

At the club since 2012, Bartley has only really made a handful of appearances for the Swansea since moving from Arsenal.
