MK Dons midfielder Paul Mitchell faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after breaking his leg in the 2-2 draw at Notts County.
The 25-year-old suffered the injury in the first half of the Meadow Lane clash and had to be stretchered from the pitch.
"Mitch has broken his leg just above the ankle and, without going into too much detail at this moment in time, there are other complications," Dons boss Martin Allen told the club's official website.
"He has a very serious injury, which is a real big blow. All my players, when they show commitment, whether they are in the team or not, are like members of my own family.
"We, as a club, will now do everything we can to ensure he has the very best consultant to do the operation.
"He will be in hospital in Nottingham for between seven and ten days."
