Blackpool dealt a blow as midfielder reveals he is set to miss the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery

The 25-year-old posted the news on his Twitter page, having missed Blackpool's 1-1 draw with Hull City this afternoon.

The midfielder has been missing since suffering a hamstring injury prior to last week's FA Cup win against West Brom.

Critchley revealed on Thursday that Anderson was due to see a specialist on Friday.

"Absolutely gutted to be missing the rest of the season," Anderson wrote.

"Last two years have been a struggle mentally due to injuries, but I’m happy to have finally put the problem right with surgery.

"Doc said it was a success and the road to recovery starts now! Back stronger."

This will come as a major blow to the Seasiders, who are already without CJ Hamilton through injury.

Bez Lubala also limped off the pitch during today's draw against Hull.

Ben Woodburn's loan from Liverpool, meanwhile, is due to expire tomorrow.
