Jagielka ruled out for run-in
-
Phil Jagielka will miss the FA Cup final after he ruptured a ligament against Manchester City on Saturday.
The England defender collapsed to the ground clutching the back of his leg and had to be stretchered off during the 2-1 defeat, and David Moyes had earlier said he was fearing the worst.
Club physio Mick Rathbone has now confirmed Jagielka's season is over. He told the club's official website: "The scan has unfortunately confirmed what we already feared and that is that Phil will be out for the rest of the season.
"He has ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament and will undergo surgery in around 10 days' time when the swelling has gone down.
"It's too early to estimate a return for the player."
