Liverpool youngster Herbie Kane, on loan at Doncaster Rovers, could miss the rest of the season as a groin injury threatens to derail the midfielder's promising League One campaign.
The 20-year old returned from his loan spell to sign a new contract with the Reds in December, before heading back to Doncaster for the remainder of the season.
Kane has flourished with regular first-team football, scoring seven goals and adding nine assists for the League One side.
However, the breakthrough campaign has been hampered by nagging groin troubles, and manager Grant McCann announced that the midfielder will be out for a further six weeks after Rovers' 4-0 defeat to Luton Town on Saturday.
Season over then. We have no quality to cover our best two players

According to the Doncaster Free Press, McCann said:
#DRFC have now won none of their last 6 games (D3 L3).
