Colchester United defender Morten Knudsen could be out for the rest of the season after injuring his knee.The Norwegian full-back is believed to have ruptured a cruciate ligament, which would require an operation in about six weeks time.

The 23-year-old has yet to play for Colchester but has been named on the substitutes bench.

Knudsen signed an 18-month contract at the club in January after impressing on trial with the League One club.
