West Bromwich Albion manager Carlos Corberán says Semi Ajayi will be sidelined for up to four months.
Ajayi copped a hamstring injury in West Brom’s clash with Cardiff City last weekend.
The centre-back sustained the injury in the second half of the encounter.
The defender is expected to undergo surgery in the next coming days.
“Semi, unfortunately, has suffered a more difficult injury. It was an action which was an accident. In this action, he has broken his muscle in two parts,” the gaffer told the club’s official website.
“The best way to manage this injury is with surgery because surgery helps reduce the risk of suffering this type of injury again.
“There are injuries which affect the tendon in specific areas where you have to have surgery. The surgery delays things by around two weeks, but it also reduces the risk of the injury reoccurring.
“Returning in about 16 weeks is the approximate time when you have this type of surgery. ”
