Swansea City goalkeeper Michel Vorm will reportedly be sidelined until February next year following knee surgery.
The Dutchman, who went under the knife on Thursday, is likely to miss the club's next seven fixtures while he recuperates, according to the Daily Star.
Vorm could return to action for Swansea's last-32 Europa League clash with Napoli at the end of February.
Gerhard Tremmel, who is now the club's only match-fit senior keeper, will deputise for this weekend's Premier League clash with Everton.
