The 23-year-old will require surgery, but will need around six weeks of rehabilitation before returning to action for The Iron.
New Scunthorpe manager Nigel Adkins will be pleased that Sparrow is not out for a longer period of time, with the League One high-flyers hosting Blackpool on Friday evening.
