Dundee captain Simon Murray left the field on a stretcher after picking up a knee injury in their 3-0 Premier Sports Cup defeat by Aberdeen at Pittodrie.
Murray, 34, clutched his left knee in pain after landing awkwardly near the penalty area in the first half, with the score 0-0.
Finlay Robertson replaced Murray in the 32nd minute and Dundee lost three goals after the break.
Manager Steven Pressley told BBC Scotland post-match: "It's a little bit upsetting for us all.
"He's such a great boy. He's our captain of course. He's more than that. He's such a great person, such a good football player. Today's a real set-back for him.
"We've still obviously to assess him fully. When it settles down, he'll receive a scan. Our hope is that he's going to be OK. It was just the reaction after it from him was a real concern, he looked in real discomfort.
"Our thoughts are very much with him tonight."
