Injured Huddersfield forward Ward out for season

Danny Ward scored 14 goals for Huddersfield on their run to the Championship play-off final in 2022

Huddersfield Town's veteran forward Danny Ward will miss the remainder of the season after injuring his knee against Burton Albion last weekend.

The 34-year-old limped off after just five minutes of the 1-1 draw and scans have now confirmed he has suffered a cruciate ligament injury.

Ward has scored three times this season - none of them coming in League One - and is in his third spell with the Terriers.

Manager Michael Duff said: "When players go down like that it doesn't look great and we knew it was serious, it's really unfortunate."

Duff's side are in fourth place heading into Saturday's visit of near neighbours Rotherham and he is hopeful of adding to his squad soon.

"There's plates spinning constantly, we know what we have been looking for and we have a definitive list of both loans and permanent signings. Those conversations are ongoing but it's not all down to us.

"We are no nearer to getting anyone in before the next game that's for sure."
