Wrexham defender Danny Williams will miss the next three months after being told he needs back surgery.
Surgeons will shave part of a disc in Williams' back that has been touching a nerve and causing him severe pain after matches over recent weeks.
"Danny is a big loss for us because he's a big leader and a big player for us and he will be missed," said Wrexham manager Brian Carey.
"But we've got players who can come in and do the job."

Boss Carey fearing Wrexham sack

Carey position as Wrexham manager is under severe threat
Wrexham boss Brian Carey admitted the disgruntled fans will not be the only ones staying away from the Racecourse if the poor results continue.
"I've been in the game long enough to know what happens," he told BBC Sport after Saturday's 2-0 loss to Barnet.
"If performances and results carry on like this I probably won't be here either.
"You've got to be realistic about these things. I'm gutted for the fans. We're not giving them what we're capable of."
Wrexham have now lost four of their six home League Two games this season, and have managed to score just two goals.

I have never seen a team as bad as Wrexham today

Carey, who was warned in midweek by chairman Neville Dickens that he would be sacked unless results improve, said he was at a loss to explain their Racecourse woes.
"I know next week when we go to Notts County we'll be a different team," he said.
"We've got to get over whatever it is about playing here. We're just not showing the Wrexham public here what we're all about. We've got to get to the bottom of it."
Carey revealed he has already made inquiries about bringing in new faces after admitting he was disappointed by the lack of leadership shown by some of his players.
"Once they got their first goal it was evident for everyone to see that heads went down," he said.
"When you need your characters to emerge and stand up strong, we didn't have too many."
