Celtic captain Scott Brown may not play again until the festive period because of a metatarsal injury.
It had previously been estimated that the 25-year-old former Hibernian midfielder would only be sidelined for six weeks.
However, a brief statement on the Bhoys' official website read: "Following a visit to see a specialist, it has been confirmed that Scott Brown will not require surgery on his injury.
"The Celtic captain has suffered a stress reaction in the third metatarsal on his right foot. However, with the extra rehabilitation work required, the midfielder is likely to be out for between eight to ten weeks.

Brown injury blow for Scotland
06 Oct 2010 - 09:47:05
Celtic midfielder Scott Brown will miss Scotland's Euro 2012 qualifier against Czech Republic with an ankle injury.
Brown is still troubled by a problem which required two rounds of surgery last season and is not in contention for the first game of an international double header on Friday evening.
The midfielder's injury absence is the latest blow for Scotland manager Craig Levein with the likes of Lee McCulloch, Kevin Thomson and Paul Hartley also absent and Barry Ferguson's recent decision not to come out of international retirement.
However, Levein hopes to have the Celtic captain available for next Tuesday's qualifier against world and European champions Spain.
Speaking about his injury problems, Brown recently explained: "I am not sure what it is but it's sore.
"I get it strapped up and it doesn't bother me on the park. It is just after the games are finished.
"Playing for Scotland means a lot to mean. Every cap could be my last one so I have to go out and make sure I am fully committed.
"We're missing a few experienced midfielders so it is not ideal if I am out as well."

Celtic have revealed that Scott Brown will be sidelined until at least the end of November with a broken metatarsal.

"Investigations are ongoing but it is likely that Scott will, unfortunately, be out for a period of six weeks.
"However, this could potentially be longer, though the club will only know after Scott sees a specialist next Tuesday."

Brown nets as Bhoys win again
25 Sep 2010 - 17:13:21
Former Hibernian midfielder Scott Brown opened the scoring as Celtic maintained their 100 per cent start to the campaign by beating John Hughes' team 2-1 at Parkhead.
Brown rifled a fantastic 25-yard shot into the top corner of the net in the opening minutes before Glenn Loovens made it 2-0 in the 51st minute. Derek Riordan halved the deficit three minutes later, but Neil Lennon's side deserved their sixth win of the campaign.
Hamilton threw away a two-goal lead when they were held to a 2-2 draw by Kilmarnock. Flavio Paixo gave Accies a 15th-minute lead and Nigel Hasselbaink doubled their advantage seven minutes before the interval.
However, Killie hit back to salvage a point from the match thanks to late efforts by Jamie Hamill and Conor Sammon.
Eric Odhiambo scored twice as Inverness won 2-1 at rock-bottom St Mirren. Paul McGowan's 77th-minute goal was not enough for the Buddies.
Motherwell are third after winning 2-0 at Hearts - Nick Blackman and John Sutton scoring second-half goals for Craig Brown's Steelmen, while David Goodwillie's 61st minute goal proved to be enough for Dundee United to edge past St Johnstone 1-0.
