West Bromwich Albion boss Roy Hodgson is relieved with Shane Long's injury not being serious.

Long is out for six weeks after being on the wrong end of a bad tackle from Aston Villa fullback Alan Hutton.

Hodgson said: "I was a bit relieved although six weeks is still a lot. It means he will still possibly miss six games.

"You don't take the situation lightly - but we know it could have been a lot worse.

"The ideal scenario would have been no injury at all but, if there has got to be one, at least it's not a serious break or ligament damage."
