Sutton defender Ben Goodliffe has been ruled out for six months with a knee injury.
Goodliffe, 23, limped off during the 1-1 League Two draw at home to Newport County on 30 July and scans have revealed a ruptured posterior cruciate ligament.
Sutton boss Matt Gray said Goodliffe's "attitude and character" and the club's medical staff would aid his recovery.
"Ben's been a major player for us and it's a huge blow to lose him," he said.
"I know all parties will work extremely hard to see him back in a Sutton shirt as soon as possible.''
Goodliffe was Sutton's player of the year for the 2021-22 season, helping the club to an eighth-placed finish and a place in the EFL Trophy final.
