Boro had won four of their previous five Championship games, but turned in a lacklusture display and were unable to respond to Scott Hogan’s first-half opener.

The result leaves Neil Warnock’s team sitting 8th in the second-tier standings.

“It’s bad news on Marcus, the consultant thinks that it might be a cruciate when he’s looked at the scans,” Warnock said. “He can’t really give me a time frame because he doesn’t know what’s inside, because he had a problem with his knee cap.

Here’s how the Boro faithful have been reacting on Twitter to Browne’s setback:
