Manchester City winger Martin Petrov is set to be out of action until February because of a knee ligament problem.
City boss Mark Hughes said: "It not his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) this time, he's got a tear in his meniscus that will need to be repaired.
"Although it's good news about the ACL it's still a bad injury and he will be out for three or four months."
Petrov, 29, was injured playing for Bulgaria against Georgia and had only just returned after a hamstring injury.
The right-back strained ligaments rather than suffering a break.
