Atkinson left the pitch on a stretcher during the 1-1 Championship draw with Sunderland on Saturday following a challenge with Amad Diallo. City manager Nigel Pearson told the club website: "Rob has ruptured his ACL, so that's his season done. "He's going to have to wait a couple of weeks before he can have surgery, which is a normal procedure, to let it settle down. "It's a blow for him and for us, and I really feel for him but we'll have to deal with it."
