Michael O'Neill has seen his wide options depleted for Northern Ireland's World Cup Qualifier with Azerbaijan on Friday after Jamie Ward broke his wrist.
Ward, on loan at Burton from Nottingham Forest, was withdrawn 12 minutes into Saturday's draw with Barnsley and Nigel Clough confirmed he will not be joining up with the rest of O'Neill's squad in Belfast next week.
Clough told Burton's website: "We don't quite know how badly but he's definitely broken it or fractured it or done something so he will be out for a few weeks.
"He obviously won't be going away with Northern Ireland, he will get an operation to have it set then the good thing is he can play with a cast."
Ward has started each of his country's last six competitive internationals.
Leeds' Stuart Dallas is another regular who will also miss out when Azerbaijan visit Windsor Park due to an on-going calf problem.
Dallas has not played since picking up the problem during the previous international break and O'Neill conceded including him in his original 25-man squad was a risk.
The Northern Irish boss acknowledged Dallas' availability for this weekend would have a bearing on whether he could feature six days later and the winger did not feature in the thrilling 3-2 win at Norwich.
