Luton Town midfielder Jordan Clark will miss "a number of weeks" with a broken jaw sustained in the League One match with Notts County on Saturday.
Clark had to be stretchered off in the first half of the 2-2 draw after a clash of heads with Magpies defender Darius Lipsiuc, which led to an 11-minute delay.
The Hatters said the 32-year-old had surgery to repair the damage on Sunday and will undergo a full rehab programme.
"We all know how important Clicker is to this football club, and he will be a massive miss for the time he's out," manager Jack Wilshere told the club website., external
"Whenever a player stays down in a situation like that, you always fear the worst.
"It was a completely accidental collision between two players fully committed to trying to score a goal and the other trying to keep it out.
"But he's in the best hands possible to make his recovery as safe and quick as possible, as he was on the pitch, and we thank everyone involved."
