Hearts defender Robbie Neilson has gone under the knife in a bid to cure a long-running ankle problem.
The Scotland international has not featured for the Edinburgh club this season and has now been sent for a surgery in a bid to resolve the ankle problem.
Neilson also missed the closing weeks of the last campaign with a stomach muscle problem.
"Hopefully everything will go okay and I can start my rehab as soon as I get back," he told the club's official website.
"It's been frustrating for me but I'm hoping this will be the end of it."
