Jimmy Keohane picked up an injury in the first-half of Dale’s pre-season friendly against Port Vale on Saturday.
It forced the Irishman to leave the action just after the half hour mark, with Robbie Stockdale confirming he will require an x-ray.
“Unfortunately, we’ve picked up an injury today with Jimmy Keohane in the first-half, which doesn’t look particularly good, and which is probably why I’m a bit sombre after the game.
“He’s going for an x-ray so fingers crossed it’s not as bad it might be.
“To lose a key player in Jimmy in the last pre-season game is a bit of a blow.”
Speedy recovery, Jimmy!
