The Sentinel reports that Port Vale defender Remie Streete fractured his leg during Tuesday night’s defeat to Millwall.
The defender was forced off in the first-half at the New Den.
Streete now looks to face a lengthy layoff which is a blow for Vale who are now just one place above the relegation zone.
The centre-half has been one of Vale’s best players this season and his absence will leave Vale short of central defensive cover.
