Nottingham Forest have confirmed they will be without Callum Hudson-Odoi for the rest of the season after he was forced to have surgery to repair a right quadriceps injury.
Hudson-Odoi was substituted during Forest's 1-0 win over Porto in the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final last week, having only come on at half-time.
The 25-year-old was also forced to sit out of Vitor Pereira's side's crucial 4-1 win over relegation rivals Burnley last Sunday, and will now spend a period on the sidelines.
Only Morgan Gibbs-White (15) and Igor Jesus (14) have scored more goals in all competitions than Hudson-Odoi's six, while he also boasts four assists in 43 appearances.
Hudson-Odoi has also created more chances than any other player in Forest's team (72), but the Tricky Trees must now deal without him for the rest of the season.
"Nottingham Forest can confirm that Callum Hudson-Odoi suffered an injury to his right quadriceps muscle in our Europa League Quarter Final fixture against FC Porto last Thursday," Forest said in a statement on social media on Tuesday.
"Following further specialist consultation, the winger has undergone surgery today and will commence his rehabilitation with our medical staff immediately.
"Callum is expected to return to full training during the pre-season period, and everyone at the Club wishes him a speedy recovery."

Hudson-Odoi also provided his own update on the issue, telling social media: "Surgery was successful, but definitely not the way I wanted to end the season.
"But with God's timing and plan, hopefully I'll be back stronger and better than before."
Forest are 16th in the top-flight and six points above the bottom three, facing Sunderland, Chelsea, Newcastle United, Manchester United and Bournemouth in their last five matches.
They also have a Europa League semi-final to come against Aston Villa, with the first leg taking place on April 30.
They are assigned a 95.6% chance of retaining their Premier League status, with Tottenham (58.2%) and West Ham (37%) more likely to be relegated to the Championship.
