AEK Athens will be without Eidur Gudjohnsen for the rest of the season after he broke his leg during a Greek Super League match on Saturday.
The 33-year-old striker fractured the tibia and fibula of his right leg following a collision with Olympiacos goalkeeper Franco Costanzo in the first half of their game at the Olympic Stadium in Athens that ended in a 1-1 draw.
Gudjohnsen is now expected to be sidelined for the remainder of the 2011-12 campaign after undergoing surgery on Sunday.
The Iceland international, who has featured for Chelsea and Barcelona among other clubs in his career, joined AEK during the recent transfer window on a two-year contract.
