Wentz out for season, NFL Eagles confirm
Carson Wentz of the Philadelphia Eagles (C) it by Mark Barron of the Los Angeles Rams
Los Angeles - Al Maghrib Today
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz was ruled out of the remainder of the season after suffering a torn cruciate ligament, coach Doug Pederson confirmed Monday.
Wentz, 24, the driving force behind the Eagles' 11-2 season which has seen them emerge as one of the favourites for the Super Bowl, was injured in Sunday's 43-35 win over the Los Angeles Rams.
The quarterback was hurt after taking a big hit as he attempted to dive in for a touchdown which was called back for a penalty.
Wentz hobbled out of the game soon afterwards having thrown for 291 yards and four touchdowns in another stellar display.
He will be replaced by back-up Nick Foles for the remainder of the campaign.
"The reason we went out and got Nick Foles are for reasons like this," Pederson told reporters on Monday. "I hate it for Carson, and the season he's having."
The Eagles wrapped up the NFC East divisional crown with Sunday's win over Los Angeles.
Philly now face the New York Giants this Sunday before a Christmas Day game against the Oakland Raiders.
They complete their season against the Dallas Cowboys on December 31.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Al Maghrib Today
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
