Rotherham striker Jonson Clarke-Harris will be sidelined for up to nine months due to a knee ligament injury.
Clarke-Harris, 21, damaged his anterior cruciate ligament while falling awkwardly in the Millers' recent 7-0 friendly win against Parkgate.
"It is a real blow firstly to Jono and obviously for the club," Millers boss Alan Stubbs told the Sky Bet Championship club's official website.
"The injury came from a nothing kind of challenge, but unfortunately our worst fears have now been confirmed.
"We will do everything we can to try and get Jono back as soon as possible.
"We know roughly the timescale for a return is between six and nine months with this kind of injury."
Rotherham broke their transfer record to sign Clarke-Harris from Oldham in September 2014 and he scored six goals in 37 appearances last season.
