Motherwell captain Paul Quinn could miss the remainder of the season after suffering a broken jaw in a nightclub.
The club say the 22-year-old defender will have surgery on his jaw on Monday, which could rule him out of the club's Uefa Cup push.
A 39-year-old man was arrested in connection with the incident in Wishaw on Saturday night.
"The matter is now in the hands of the police, and we wish Paul a speedy recovery," a club spokesman said.
Quinn was handed the captaincy following the death of Phil O'Donnell in December.
The right-back's berth in the team could be filled by Brian McLean for Saturday's visit of Celtic in the SPL.
