Matt Elliott looks set to miss the rest of this season if the reports that he has suffered damaged knee ligaments are true.

Elliott limped off in the second half after a challenge from West which left City with only 10 men after Taylor had already used up all his subs.

Taylor told the official site, "Matt Elliott's injury could be quite serious and he could be out for the rest of the season.

"We don't know exactly the full extent of the damage to his knee or how long he is going to be out.

"But the way the physio said he had quite a lot of pain it sounds like he may have opened up a ligament.

"We will keep our fingers crossed but it does appear that luck is against us again."

Also doubtful of making a recovery before this weekends game against Middlesbrough is Dean Sturridge and Muzzy Izzet who are both still struggling with injury.

Gerry Taggart may play though after missing today's game due to a knee injury.

Taylor said "I think Taggart will be OK for the weekend but neither Sturridge or Izzet will be recovered from their injuries."
