Centre-half Lindsay came off after half an hour, his injury happening a few minutes before when Dylan Barkers caught him with a late tackle - the Robins midfielder was booked.
North End head coach Frankie McAvoy said: "They don't look too good if I'm being honest with you.
"Both lads will get scanned tomorrow and we'll see how they come back.

"Liam's knee injury doesn't look too good, the guy has gone right through him. I felt it was late, I'm not saying it was a bad challenge.
"We are starting to get a few knocks at the moment, big Pat Bauer broke his nose on Saturday.
"That is why we made changes tonight, we brought seven in and I know the squad is a decent enough squad - we just have to make sure we get the balance right to win games.

"With Liam, we won't know exactly what is wrong until he has the scan but he's in a bit of pain at the moment."
North End won the game 4-1, Andrew Hughes, Joe Rafferty, Sean Maguire and Emil Riis finding the net.
