Colchester United have been hit with a bombshell after learning that Mark Warren is set to miss up to six weeks through injury.
The popular defender tore his groin while stretching for the ball during Saturday's 2-0 home defeat against Blackpool.
"I'm absolutely gutted," said Warren, who has already missed ten games this season because of suspensions and injury.
"Right now is the last time I wanted to be out of action.
"We're at the wrong end of the table and every game is like a cup final for us.
"But I'm sure the boys can pull us out of the trouble we are in.
"I know we can do it, especially if the fans rally round and support us."
