SUNDERLAND defender Joachim Bjorklund expects to be sidelined for at least a fortnight after limping off in his side's 2-1 defeat at Tottenham.
The Swedish centre half was forced off after 58 minutes with a thigh strain as The Black Cats failed to alleviate their relegation fears.
Bjorklund admits he will have to wait until Monday before he discovers the extent of the damage.
"It really hurt," Bjorklund told Sportbladet. "This injury really came at a bad time.
"We will have an MRI on the injury on Monday. At best, I will be out for two or three weeks."
