Leeds United Pascal Struijk will miss Saturday's Championship visit from Plymouth Argyle after a double hernia operation.
The centre-back has been a key figure in the heart of defence and has worn the captain's armband in recent weeks. Manager Daniel Farke says it is unclear how long he will be out, but now seemed like the best time to deal with a long-standing problem.
'On Joe Gelhardt overall I would say it's some good news, he didn't need any surgery on his hand fracture but he will definitely miss this game,' said Farke. 'I hope he will be able to join us back in team training during the international break and out the other side to be re-involved. 'It's the same with Jamie Shackleton, it was a strain in his glutes. He will definitely also miss the game but be back in team training pretty soon.
