Manager Chris Hughton said, "It's a huge blow for us; Solly has been in exceptional form in recent weeks, was catching the eye with some superb performances and we felt he was getting better with every game he played.
"One positive for Solly, with the advances in that area of sports medicine, is that he will come back from this injury as strong and fit as he has been - if not stronger."
