Coventry City manager Iain Dowie fears Khalilou Fadiga's career could be over after the Senegal midfielder ruptured an Achilles tendon.
The 32-year-old former international midfielder suffered the injury in the Sky Blues' 4-0 defeat against Preston on Saturday.
Fadiga arrived at the Ricoh Arena on a short-term deal until the end of the season in February and Dowie has revealed the former Bolton Wanderers and Internazionale midfielder could be tempted to hang up his boots after an injury-plagued past few years.
"For a lad of his standing in the game and his age, it is a massive blow," said Dowie.
"He has had a tough time of it. His mum died recently but he got back and got his fitness up, had his first start for us last week and now this.
"I wanted to see him so we could make decision in the summer but it's a very serious injury.
"Whether he can come back from it, who knows?"
