Plymouth Argyle defender Julio Pleguezuelo could miss the rest of the season after a recurrence of a calf problem.
The Spanish defender, 29, has had an injury-ravaged season, having missed the first four months of the campaign with a knee issue he suffered early in pre-season.
He returned in December, but was sidelined with the calf issue in January, before playing twice last week.
“We’ve got to hit a reset button with Pleggy,” head coach Tom Cleverley told BBC Radio Devon.
“It’s tough when your body is letting you down, when you’re such an experienced player – and not having a pre-season has really hurt Pleggy this year.
“He’s not had that baseline of fitness, he’s always trying to chase that and being a bit of a risk when he’s played.
“So we need to reset all that with Pleggy and take our time with him so if that is that he returns for pre-season, that’s what it is.”
