Cheltenham Town captain John Finnigan has been ruled out for the rest of the season by foot and ankle injuries.
The 31-year-old former Lincoln City midfielder broke down in a recent reserve team match, having not featured for the Robins first eleven since October lasy year.
Manager Keith Downing told the club's official website: "John has been struggling with the foot injury, but as a result of over-compensating for it, he now has an ankle problem.
"It's a big disappointment for us and John is obviously very frustrated, but hopefully the operation will clear the problem and have him up and running for the start of next season.
"The foot injury was slowly improving and required further time to heal, but now we are going to clean the ankle up as well to try and prevent any future problems."
