Notts County are waiting to discover the extent of the knee injury Gill Swerts sustained against Mansfield.
Swerts had to be substituted at half-time during the 3-1 Johnstone's Paint Trophy success on Tuesday night and the club are awaiting the results of a scan.
The Belgian was not the only Magpies player forced off against the Stags, with Haydn Hollis and Stanley Aborah also having to be withdrawn in the second half.
With Civard Sprockel, Blair Adams, Elliott Hewitt, Curtis Thompson, Rob Milsom and Kyle De Silva already out injured, Notts boss Ricardo Moniz is grateful his side do not have a game this weekend so that his men can regain fitness.
"Hollis suffered a head injury but I don't think it is too serious. Aborah had a virus but Swerts' injury is a little more tricky because of how he landed on his knee," said Moniz, whose team do not play on Saturday because Roy Carroll, Mawouna Amevor and Rhys Sharpe are away on international duty with their respective countries.
"I hope it is not serious because he had a good game against Aston Villa and again against Mansfield. We'll have to wait for an MRI scan before we find out how bad it is.
"The free weekend is not helpful for me because it is boring without football.
"But it is a good choice for us because we are missing players. We can get players back and when the team is complete you will see what we are capable of."
Moniz's men are next in action against Luton at Meadow Lane on September 12.
