St Mirren will be without Stephen O'Donnell for three months after the midfielder suffered a broken foot during a training session.
O'Donnell, 24, has made just three appearances for the Buddies this season after a string of injury problems.
"Stephen O'Donnell broke down at training on Thursday morning with what turned out to be a metatarsal injury," manager Gus MacPherson told the club's official website.
"He is scheduled to get surgery on the injury next Tuesday with a rehab programme to follow which will probably take the biggest part of three months.
"Although it is a big hit for us, it's a bigger blow for Stephen who has recently been playing really well for the reserve side and working extremely hard in training."
Meanwhile, striker Craig Dargo has returned to training after missing the entire season with a knee injury.
