Mills, 20, is on loan at the League One outfit from Premier League side Everton.

There was plenty of concern for the youngster as get-well-soon wishes flooded in online.

One message even came from Coventry, who posted: “Hoping for a swift recovery, Stan. Get well soon.”

One fan commented: “Wishing you a speedy recovery, Millsy!”

A second wrote: “Wishing Stan well.”

A third said: “Looked a serious one that, wishing the lad a speedy recovery!”
