SOUTHEND United defender Joe Shaughnessy is facing at least a month on the sidelines with a knee problem.
Shaughnessy picked up the injury during Sunday's 1-0 defeat at Dover Athletic in the first round of the FA Cup.
And Blues boss Sol Campbell expects the centre-back to be out of action for the next few weeks.
"He is going to be out for a while," said Campbell.
"They’re still assessing him at the moment but it looks as though he will be out for a month at least."
