Manchester City new boy Andreas Isaksson faces a spell on the sidelines with a foot problem.
Isaksson has missed the first two games of the season for City with the injury.
The 24-year-old has been told he will now have to undergo surgery on the problem to clear up the injury.
It means that Isaksson will miss Sweden's two Euro 2008 qualifiers against Latvia and Liechtenstein next month.
Isaksson is expected to be missing for three weeks, but the former Rennes custodian fears he could be out for longer.
"The surgeon says I must wait two to three weeks before I can start training again, but if they find anything else wrong in the foot, I may have to rest up to six weeks," Isaksson told Expressen.
