Motherwell interim boss Steven Hammell has revealed defender Jake Carroll will be ruled out "for months" after missing their defeat to St Johnstone.
The Steelmen suffered late agony with a stoppage time sickener, which came just moments after Stephen O'Donnell's late deflected header looked to have earned a 1-1 draw.
But that wasn't the only blow for 'Well, who will be without the left-back long-term after he picked up an injury in training yesterday.
Irishman Carroll was at Fir Park on crutches and Hammell said: "Unfortunately Jake got a bad injury yesterday in training. It was really innocuous.
"There was nobody within five yards of him and unfortunately it looks like a bad one for Jake.
"It's a massive blow for us because he was a big part of what we wanted to do.
"He was missed today in terms of that balance.
"I'm not sure exactly what the injury is but it is a serious one.
"We've not had an official diagnosis of it, but it's going to be months."
