Michael Gardyne could miss three months with the hamstring injury he picked up against Kilmarnock.
The Ross County appearances record-holder was forced off just nine minutes into the match in Dingwall, and now could be set for an extended spell on the sidelines.
Gardyne (pictured) was due to be assessed last week, but that was delayed with the norovirus outbreak in Dingwall, and co-manager Stuart Kettlewell has now said he needs surgery.
“It’s not looking so good for Michael,” Kettlewell revealed. “It’s similar to what happened with Callum Morris last year – and I think he missed four months off the back of it.
“It’s an injury to his hamstring tendon which is a massive blow. We all know how big a player Michael is for us, and how well he has done for us.
“He’s pretty down about it just now, understandably knowing his nature. He just wants to play and do well for the team.”
