Hamilton is set for a spell on the sidelines after a scan confirmed the winger is continuing to suffer with an ongoing foot problem.

The 26-year-old, who has looked off the pace so far this season, broke his fifth metatarsal in March.

Hamilton now requires further surgery to remove a screw causing significant pain and discomfort.

It’s understood it will leave him out of action for at least a couple of months.

Madine, meanwhile, continues to suffer ongoing groin problems that also plagued the second half of last season.

The striker, who has yet to make an appearance this season, underwent surgery during the summer.
