Villarreal and Turkish National Team striker Nihat Kahveci will be out for up to four months after undergoing surgery on Sunday for an injury sustained while playing for Turkey at the European Championship.
The Spanish club said doctors successfully repaired a tendon in the 28-year-old Nihat's right thigh, which was damaged in the closing minutes of Turkey's quarter-final victory over Croatia.
Nihat, whose club-leading 18 goals helped Villarreal finish second to champion Real Madrid, will need at least three months to recover and could miss the start of Villarreal's Champions League campaign.
