Walt Disney Pictures’ new film “The Game Plan” has been put on hold after its star, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson suffered a leg injury on Monday.

Johnson suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon during a football practice in preparation for his role in the family football comedy, reports Reuters. Shooting was set to commence on June 26.

He is scheduled to undergo surgery on Friday in Miami. With recovery and rehab time, however, it may be months before The Rock can resume his role.

“While this is a setback for our production schedule, we completely support him as he recuperates and look forward to resuming production when Dwayne is fully recovered,” said a statement from Walt Disney Motion Picture Group president Nina Jacobson.

The movie follows a professional football player on his journey to becoming a father after discovering he has a daughter.
