Lowry tripped while on his break, but after returning home it was discovered on Wednesday by a consultant that he had broken a bone in his foot.

“Philip will be in plaster for some time and he will not be able to play for three months which is a real blow,” said Linfield boss David Jeffrey.

“We already have Michael Gault out with a broken toe which takes two influential players out of our midfield as we prepare for our Champions League qualifier next week.”

The Blues face B36 Torshavn from the Faroe Islands with the first leg on Tuesday night at Windsor Park, 7.45pm start.
