Motherwell goalkeeper Scott Fox is expected to be out for the rest of the season after it was revealed he requires surgery on his knee.
The 33-year-old joined from Partick Thistle last month, but he's now facing up to a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
Fir Park boss Stephen Robinson told the club's official website: “The injury is horrendous news for Scott and we are all gutted for him.
“We will help him in every way we can to get him back fit again.
“Unfortunately it is another freak injury, which we can’t legislate for. Scott is now the fifth player we have out and the fourth who has suffered either a contact or freak injury.
“It is frustrating for us all. But we are focused on Scott and making sure we all support him during his recovery.”
The news comes ahead of Motherwell's trip to the capital this evening to face Hibernian.
