Israeli midfielder Baram Kayal has confirmed that he will play no football until December at the earliest after being told he requires a hernia operation.
Kayal has not featured in Celtic's first team since last month's victory at Kilmarnock, but will now endure surgery for the second time this year, having been sidelined for several months when he was still with Maccabi Haifa.
The 22-year-old told Walla Sports: "There is no escaping that I need surgery. I hope to be fit as soon as possible and I am looking forward to my return.
"The manager told me he needed me in the second half of the season and that he prefers if I rest."

Kayal sweating over test results
06 Oct 2010 - 14:18:30
Celtic midfielder Baram Kayal is keeping his fingers crossed as he waits to find out whether his groin injury will keep him out until January.
The summer signing from Maccabi Haifa has been out of action since September 19 and, after travelling to England for tests, he is yet to receive confirmation of the severity of his problem.
"I was told either I would have an injection and then be out for a month, or have an operation, but then it would mean three months out," he said.
"I flew to Manchester (on Tuesday) to get another opinion. What happens to me in the end depends on the medical staff at Celtic.
"Since I learned about the injury I haven't slept at night. I did have a scan before, but it didn't account for errors and perhaps it was not done in the right place."
