Kyle Naughton ruled out for rest of season

By , Reporter
Swansea City defender Kyle Naughton is ruled out for the rest of the season with an ankle ligament injury.

Swansea City have announced that Kyle Naughton will miss the rest of the season with ankle ligament damage.

The defender was carried off during Saturday's 3-1 victory over Hull City at the Liberty Stadium following a tackle from David Meyler.

The Hull midfielder received a straight red card for the challenge, while Naughton was taken to hospital with a severely swollen ankle.

"An initial scan on Saturday ruled out a fracture, but a follow up scan last night confirmed ligament damage that will keep the January signing from Spurs out for around six weeks," a statement on Swansea's official website read.

Naughton has made nine appearances for the Swans since joining from Tottenham Hotspur.
