Edwards left the Stadium of Light on crutches on Saturday
|
Sunderland winger Carlos Edwards has been ruled out of action for up to six weeks with a broken leg.
The 29-year-old suffered the injury in a clash with Jay McEveley in the 1-0 win over Derby on Saturday.
Edwards, who was playing in only his third game since coming back from a hamstring tear, left the Stadium of Light on crutches on Saturday.
"The good thing is that it's a clean break with no other complications," confirmed his agent Mike Berry.
It is the latest in a string of injuries that the Trinidad & Tobago international has suffered since his £1.4m switch from Luton in January.

"As the saying goes in Trinidad, it seems like the guy needs a good bush bath because he has the worst run of injuries in the past year than he's had in 10 years or so," added Berry.
"It has been a nightmare for him. He got over the hamstring injury and came back against Everton and then got injured again versus Derby."
Edwards returned to action in the 1-1 draw with local rivals Newcastle in November, almost three months after damaging his hamstring at Birmingham during the opening week of the season.
The news will come as a bitter blow to Black Cats manager Roy Keane, who finds his options down the right limited in both midfield and defence.
