George Elokobi ruled out for rest of the season after suffering horror ankle injury

Bristol City manager Dereck McInnes confirms that loan signing George Elokobi will miss the rest of the season after breaking and fracturing his ankle during the 3-2 loss to Leeds United.

Bristol City manager Dereck McInnes has confirmed that on-loan defender George Elokobi will miss the rest of the season with a horror ankle injury.

Elokobi suffered a fractured and dislocated ankle in the first half of City's 3-2 defeat to Leeds United on Saturday.

The 26-year-old only joined City on a three-month loan deal this week from Wolverhampton Wanderers, but will play no further part in the 2012-13 campaign.

McInnes told the club's official website: "All our thoughts are with George because it's a horrendous injury and he won't play again this season.

"He's fractured and dislocated his ankle and has gone off immediately for an operation.

"We wish him well and it's a real shame because he was so happy with this move and we were excited to be working with him."

An English-based player for most of his career, Elokobi joined Wolves in January 2008 from Colchester United, and has previously spent time on loan at Nottingham Forest.
