Hull City midfielder David Meyler will miss the rest of the season after suffering a medial knee ligament injury during training on Thursday.
Meyler had not featured in any of Hull's last four league games but has featured 28 times in all competitions this season, scoring once against Liverpool in September.
The injury means the Republic of Ireland international will also miss his country's crunch World Cup Qualifier against Austria in the Aviva Stadium in June.
The 27-year-old started for Ireland in midfield during the 0-0 draw against Wales last month, when he was brought into the line-up following James McCarthy's late withdrawal.
Hull are currently 17th in the Premier League table, two points ahead of Swansea in 18th, and travel to the Bet365 Stadium on Saturday to take on a Stoke side who have lost four games in a row.
