Manchester City boss Mark Hughes admits striker Craig Bellamy is out for the season.

Bellamy, 29, has missed City's last three games with a knee injury, but scans performed in London last week have highlighted damaged fibres in the knee, prompting the diagnosis of two weeks' rest for the former Newcastle, Liverpool and West Ham forward.

City manager Mark Hughes said: "Craig has got to have complete rest for two weeks and then he comes back for strength work. Hopefully he might get the last couple of games, but the probability is that he won't."
