The striker, who returned to Sparrows Lane in June after two years out on loan, has an acute tear in the plantar fascia on the underside of his left foot.
Head of Medical Services Alastair Thrush explained: “This is an injury that was confirmed with an ultra sound scan yesterday. It happened during the game against Welling. The injury is going to require a period of immobilisation in a boot to start with for a few weeks followed by a graduated loading programme. We anticipate that we’ll see Igor back in training again in about eight weeks’ time.

3 injured
2 injury prone
Season starts in 3 weeks
Edit: just looked at the last updated squad list and not including RHF as he only played 5 league games its 18 1st team players.
First 45 mins he's played for us for 2 years and now he's out for 2 months.
You can't blame a player for an injury, but you can blame a club for buying injury-prone players for a paper-thin squad.
Seeing Igor tear up L1 was one of the few things I had used to delude myself into getting excited for the forthcoming season!
Having two plantar fascia injuries so close to one another is odd. You have got to look at the footwear these players are wearing and where the forces are being transmitted to, these injuries shouldn’t happen.
Else Bowyer's comments saying that Morgan | Maloney | Lapslie wont be in the squad for Sunderland will be false
