Plymouth Argyle boss Tom Cleverley has confirmed that winger Xavier Amaechi will be out until the new year.
The 24-year-old has undergone hamstring surgery after being injured in training late last month.
Cleverley says the former England Under-20 international will be out for at least four months after successful surgery earlier his week.
Amaechi moved to Home Park in the summer from second tier German side FC Magdeburg on a three-year deal.
He has started all five of Argyle's League One games this season and scored his first goal in the 3-2 loss at Lincoln City.
He is the second long-term injury blow Argyle have suffered this season after defender Julio Pleguezuelo was ruled out until January after having knee surgery.
