EDDIE French is expected to undergo surgery on the horror injury he suffered last night in the next two days.
The Horsham defender broke his tibia, dislocated his ankle and suffered extensive ligament damage in the 2-1 win against Staines last night.
Manager John Maggs said the blow should keep him out for the rest of the season.
"It does not look good," Maggs said.
"They (Worthing Hospital) are looking at surgery either Friday or Saturday and they are talking about putting plates in his leg.
"Last night it was not too bad, but they have had a look at him now and it's bad news, it's a massive blow to us.
"It's too early to say if it's career threatening, it's down to what the specialists say, I would think it is long term."
