The 20-year-old is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines after sustaining the problem late in the first half at Rochdale on Tuesday night, having scored his first professional goal ten minutes earlier to draw The Alex level at 2-2 in the match.

The move to Crewe was Seager's first taste of professional football and he had impressed during his four appearances at the Club, starting on three occasions.

Everyone at Crewe Alexandra would like to thank Ryan for his contributions to the Club and wish him well with his recovery.
