Blackburn Rovers striker Ben Brereton Diaz has damaged ankle ligaments and no timescale has been placed on his return, says boss Tony Mowbray.
Brereton Diaz will miss games against promotion rivals Sheffield United, QPR and Fulham over the next two weeks.
“Ben won’t be available for a few weeks, at least,” Mowbray said.
He told BBC Radio Lancashire: “He’s damaged some ankle ligaments, so we won’t be seeing him for a while. Is it four weeks? Six weeks? Eight weeks? Ten weeks? I don’t know.
“Ben will be ready when he’s ready, we’ll have to get on without him for the short term, and let’s hope he can impact the end of our season.”
Rovers are third in the Championship, before Wednesday’s game against the sixth-placed Blades.
Brereton Diaz might also be a doubt for Chile’s upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Brazil and Uruguay at the end of March, either through the injury or a lack of game time following recovery.
The former Nottingham Forest forward has four goals in 11 caps for La Roja.
