Evatt, 25, sustained ligament damage and bruising to his tibia and fibula in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Colchester.

"He's had a scan on his knee and his shin and unfortunately Evo's going to be out for two to three months. It's a big blow," said boss Simon Grayson.

With Stephen Crainey injured ahead of Blackpool's win over Southend, Grayson may look to make a loan signing.
