Nottingham Forest's new loan signing Dimi Konstantopoulos is set to miss the rest of the season with an Achilles injury-before he even played a game for the club.
The Greek goalkeeper only joined The Reds earlier this week from Coventry City on a deal until the end of the campaign.
But in only his first training session with the League One club on Thursday morning, Konstantopoulos ruptured his Achilles tendon.
He will require surgery and will be sidelined for several months.
The injury to Konstantopoulos leaves Forest short of goalkeeping cover after the former Greek under-21 international had been signed to provide competition to Paul Smith.
Forest’s number two ‘keeper Dale Roberts may now be recalled from jis loan spell at Rushden and Diamonds.
Konstantopoulos had been allowed to leave Coventry after becoming the Sky Blues third choice stopper following the recent loan capture of Kasper Schmeichel from Manchester City.
