Southend United defender Ben Coker sidelined for four months

By , Rugby Editor
Southend United defender Ben Coker is due to miss around four months of action with an elbow injury.

Southend United defender Ben Coker has been ruled out of action for around four months with an elbow injury.

The 25-year-old is due to undergo surgery after sustaining damage to his tendons and ligaments during last Saturday's 1-1 draw with Oxford United.

"The surgeon said he has seen very few injuries like this, especially in football," manager Phil Brown is quoted as saying by BBC Sport. "It's very disappointing news. Ben has been a key player for us."

Coker has made eight appearances for the League Two side since the start of the season.
