West Bromwich Albion striker Daryl Dike could be out for up to nine months after rupturing his Achilles tendon.
The 22-year-old United States forward suffered the injury during Albion's 2-1 Championship win at Stoke on Saturday.
Dike has been plagued by setbacks since joining the Baggies in January 2022.
A hamstring injury picked up on his full debut against Peterborough kept him out for six months and a thigh problem just one game into his return led to another three-month absence.
He missed out on the USA World Cup squad as a consequence but scored seven goals in 22 league games for the Baggies after regaining fitness in November.
