NOTTS County striker Jimmy Spencer has been ruled out for the whole of the 2014/15 season with cruciate ligament damage.
The 22-year-old picked up the injury in the Magpies' first pre-season friendly, at Arnold Town, in midweek and has been ruled out for the rest of the campaign.
Boss Shaun Derry described it as a 'major blow' to lose the front man, following his side's 3-1 defeat to Mansfield Town.
"It's not good news. We're going to lose Jimmy for the whole of the season," he said. "He's done his cruciate ligament.
"As it stands at the minute, it's not good.
"It's a major blow for us all."
