"Subsequent scans have confirmed that Kache has damaged his medial collateral ligament and, ahead of a visit to a specialist on Monday, he is expected to be sidelined for an estimated 8-12 weeks," Huddersfield said on their website (www.htafc.com).
Left back Chris Lowe, who was substituted after a foot injury in the first half, has not suffered a broken bone as feared and will be available for Saturday's trip to 12th-placed Southampton.
Huddersfield are 11th in the table.
