WOLVERHAMPTON, England (AP) - Austria striker Sasa Kalajdzic sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury on his debut for Wolverhampton, the Premier League club said Sunday, and is set for a long spell out.

Wolves said Kalajdzic felt pain in his knee at the end of the first half of the 1-0 victory over Southampton on Saturday and was substituted at halftime.

'œUnfortunately, scans reveal an anterior cruciate injury and he will see a knee specialist tomorrow," Wolves said. 'œWe now need to support Sasa in his recovery."

The 25-year-old Kalajdzic, a 6-foot-7 (2 meters) striker, was signed to add some much-needed depth and variety to Wolverhampton's attack. The team has scored just three goals in six games - tied for the fewest in the league.
