Edwards was injured in the win over West Brom
|
Promotion-chasing Sunderland have been hit by the news that in-form winger Carlos Edwards could be sidelined for the rest of the season.
The 28-year-old hurt his left shoulder in the 2-1 win over West Brom and will be out for six to eight weeks.
Sunderland's website reported that Edwards has an "outside chance" of playing again this season, but should be fit for the play-offs if required.
Manager Roy Keane signed Edwards from Luton in January for £1.5m.
The Black Cats have won seven of the nine league games the Trinidad and Tobago international has featured in.
