Carl Jenkinson was taken to hospital after suffering a dislocated hip during Bromley's pre-season friendly against Millwall. The former Arsenal defender required oxygen and was stretchered off after the incident in the 68th minute.
Jenkinson, 33, had been attempting to challenge a Millwall winger when he came off worse in the collision. He remained on the pitch receiving treatment for a lengthy period before being given gas and air and removed from the field.
Bromley confirmed the severity of the injury during the match, posting: "Carl Jenkinson is stretchered off following a lengthy spell receiving treatment on the pitch. We're all wishing you a speedy recovery, Jenko." The club later added: "We're all behind you, Jenko."
Manager Andy Woodman, who previously worked as a goalkeeper coach at Arsenal, said: "It looks like he's dislocated his hip. It's a tragedy. He's been a real bright player for us all pre-season. That's a real blow. He's gone to the hospital to try to get it back in."
Jenkinson joined Bromley last September and made 13 appearances in his first season. He signed a new deal in April. The defender played 70 times for Arsenal after arriving from Charlton for £1 million, and also had spells with West Ham, Nottingham Forest and Newcastle Jets.
Woodman added: "Knowing Jenko, he'll be back sooner rather than later and we wish him all of the best."
