Adderbury Park Reserve player Charlie Akins will be out for at least three months after suffering a broken tibia against Garsington Res in the Oxfordshire Senior League.
He suffered the injury about 15 minutes into the Division 2 game in an accidental challenge, after Adderbury had taken a 1-0 lead.
Paramedics were on the scene quickly, but it took around an hour for an ambulance to arrive, so it was decided to abandon the game.
