Cliftonville striker Joe Gormley faces an extended spell on the sidelines after suffering a "serious injury" in training.
The talismanic Gormley suffered a broken elbow on Thursday night, the club confirmed.
The 31-year-old - Cliftonville's record goalscorer - has scored twice in 12 Premiership appearances this season, and was an unused substitute in the North Belfast derby draw with Crusaders last time out.
The Solitude club said on their website: "Cliftonville Football Club extends best wishes to Joe Gormley, who sustained a serious injury during last night’s training session at Solitude.
"The 31-year-old suffered a broken elbow and, as he faces up to a lengthy spell on the sidelines, everyone at Solitude naturally hopes for a full and speedy recuperation."
Cliftonville sit fifth in the Premiership ahead of Saturday's trip to Ballymena United.
