Croft hacked down his England U21 team mate Hunt in the 52nd minute of Bolton's 1-0 win at Boundary Park and the young full back was immediately stretchered off and taken to a nearby hospital for checks.
Hunt has been Bolton's regular right back throughout the course of this season and any potential injury will come as a huge blow to the Trotters manager Sam Allardyce who sees the young defender as a key part of his plans.
The Oldham midfielder Croft, on loan from Manchester City, was not even booked by referee Matt Messias following the incident which left Allardyce absolutely fuming.
