It is a major blow for the 23-year-old centre back, who only made a successful return from the same injury in November last year.

On that occasion the injury kept him out of the game for a year.

Club doctor James Ilic said: “Jordan has ruptured the ACL in his left knee. It was a non-contact injury.

“We’re discussed the situation with Jordan and his family about what we believe to be the best course of action, and the decision has been made that we will perform a full reconstruction as soon as possible.”
