Subway Socceroos midfielder Aiden O'Neill is set for a stint on the sidelines with an ankle injury, his club Standard Liege announced in a statement.
The Belgian Pro League side said the 25-year-old ruptured the internal lateral ligament in his left ankle during last Saturday's match against KAA Gent.
O'Neill is expected to miss at least the next four weeks, meaning he will be unavailable for Socceroos selection in the March FIFA Men’s International Window.
