Aaron Ramsey will miss the remainder of the 2024-25 season after undergoing hamstring surgery.
Following a recent return from injury the midfielder, 34, was expected to be involved for Wales' upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Kazakhstan and North Macedonia.
But on the eve of Craig Bellamy's squad announcement for the double header, Ramsey was withdrawn during Cardiff City's Championship loss to Luton Town.
On Thursday the Bluebirds confirmed he will play no further part for the club this season.
"Following specialist opinion, Aaron Ramsey has undergone successful hamstring surgery and will miss the rest of the season," a club statement read.
"We wish Aaron all the best with his recovery."
Ramsey's current Cardiff contract expires at the end of the season, although he recently stated he is eager to remain with his boyhood club beyond the summer.
When directly asked in February if his preference would be to extend his stay at the Bluebirds, he said: "Of course, I've come back for that reason.
"There's a lot to look forward to next year as well. Of course, I want to play my part and help this team."
Ramsey featured just eight times for the Bluebirds in the Championship this season, with six of those outings being starts.
