Blackburn Rovers striker Leon Best faces six month on the sidelines after a scan reveals that the forward has suffered a cruciate ligament knee injury.

New Blackburn Rovers striker Leon Best is likely to be sidelined for six months after suffering a cruciate ligament injury in his knee.

The 25-year-old became a doubt for Steve Kean's side when he picked up the injury in a 2-1 victory over AEK Athens on Sunday.

The newly-demoted Championship club confirmed the fate of the frontman today following a scan on his knee.

Best moved to Ewood Park from Newcastle United earlier this month.
