Boyce became Burton’s record signing when he signed on a three-year contract from Ross County in June.

The injury was sustained during a 1-0 pre-season friendly defeat by Shrewsbury on Saturday.

Boyce was the Scottish Premiership’s top scorer with 23 goals last season, but is yet to make his competitive debut for Burton.
