Chelsea have confirmed midfielder
Yossi Benayoun will be out of action for around six months.
Benayoun suffered a torn calf muscle during the Carling Cup defeat to Newcastle last month. He subsequently joined up with the Israel national side but suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon during training, and further tests have revealed the extent of the problem.
A statement on the club's official website read: "Yossi Benayoun will undergo surgery on his Achilles on Monday. The Israeli international returned to the club from international duty last week, and will now be out of action for approximately six months."
Benayoun has yet to start a Premier League game for Chelsea after joining the club from Liverpool in the summer.
