Dutchman De Zeeuw will be out for at least six weeks
|
Coventry's new signing Arjan de Zeeuw will miss the start of the season after damaging knee ligaments.
The 37-year-old, who arrived on a free transfer from Wigan in June, suffered the injury when he caught his studs in the turf during training.
He will be sidelined for at least six weeks and manager Iain Dowie told the club website: "I feel for him.
"I know how much he was looking forward to the start of the season. It was a freak accident."
The Sky Blues boss also paid tribute to De Zeeuw's attitude following his move to the Championship outfit, adding: "He has been a model professional since he joined the club."
