CRYSTAL Palace Academy graduate Kyle De Silva will be out of action for six weeks after picking up another injury.
The youngster, who featured for the first team in the 2011/12 season, has struggled to get replicate his early promise and was training with Northampton Town recently ahead of a loan.
Last season, the 20-year-old had a short loan spell at Barnet, making just three appearances, and then suffered a series of injuries.
Academy boss Gary Issott told the Advertiser: "Kyle has pulled his hamstring and is out for around six weeks, which is a nightmare for him."
"He's a had a real torrid time for the last two years, so it's a big blow.
"He's got another year to go after this but it's tragic really for him."
