Blyth, on loan from Leicester, suffered a hamstring injury in Albion's League Two win at Cheltenham last weekend and scans have revealed the damage could keep the 22-year-old out until April.

"It's a big blow. It is a five or six-week injury but hopefully we will see him sooner," Burton boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink told local reporters on Thursday.

"He is a strong lad. Hopefully he will heal a little bit quicker. He was just getting his rhythm, especially with Stuart (Beavon). They like playing with each other.

"It is a miss but it will open up a place for somebody else and an opportunity for someone else to take."

Blyth has scored five goals in 25 appearances for promotion-chasing Burton.
