Middlesbrough forward Mustapha Carayol will be out for up to four months with a knee injury picked up in the Capital One Cup win against Gillingham, BBC has revealed.
The 23-year-old hyper-extended his knee, and was initially cleared after a scan. However, the new assessment confirmed that surgery is likely to be required.
“He’ll be a huge loss for us, I’m hugely disappointed for him,” boss Tony Mowbray told BBC Tees.
“He has started his career so well and, hopefully, he’ll come back stronger.”
Gambia-born Carayol arrived at the Riverside from League Two side Bristol Rovers in August on a three-year deal.
He has since made five appearances for Boro, scoring two goals.
