Brighton & Hove Albion forward Izzy Brown was dealt a cruel blow in Monday night's FA Cup match against Crystal Palace.
The 21-year-old was forced off the pitch after just 13 minutes with what appeared to be a knee problem.
Brown initially seemed to feel some discomfort after unleashing a shot at goal, but it was not until a few minutes later when he went to ground clutching his knee.
The attack-minded player, who is on loan at Brighton from Chelsea, is no stranger to injury woes having spent three months on the sidelines with a hamstring problem earlier in the season.
The blow came in Brighton's opening day 2-0 defeat to Manchester City in August.
