Werder's injured defender Mikael Silvestre will be out a number of months as the club doctor Dr. Götz Dimanski confirmed Friday afternoon.

"The intensive examinations with the Augsburg knee specialist Dr. Ulrich Boenisch confirmed our suspicions that there is defective cartilage in the right knee. This will take a number of months of rehab and the subsequent break of action," said Dr. Dimanski, who has already discussed the next steps with the Augsburg colleague. The Frenchman Silveste will undergo arthroscopic knee surgery on Monday. The 33-year-old defender had complained about knee problems during the lactate test at the start of training last Wednesday. "We hope he overcomes the operation on Monday well and then we have to wait for him," said head coach Thomas Schaaf about another player to go missing injured for him. "Of course this is not a nice situation for us. Mikael will be difficult to compensate for."

Silvestre arrived on the Weser last summer for two years and played 26 times for the Bundesliga team last season. In the last home game last season, he scored to make it 1-0 against the German champions Borussia Dortmund.
