Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin has lamented the loss of "one of the best wingers in the league" for the rest of the season, leaving a question mark over the North Macedonia international's future at Tannadice.
Goodwin confirmed Kristijan Trapanovski "underwent some surgery" on Wednesday on a knee injury the 26-year-old sustained in last month's Scottish Cup defeat away to Falkirk.
Trapanovski, who has two caps for his country, is out of contract this summer having signed a two-year deal when arriving from Shkupi in his homeland in 2024.
He has since made 58 appearances, albeit 28 of them off the bench, scoring seven goals.
But he has only made eight starts and scored once this season.
"It's been a difficult campaign for Kristijan, very stop-start – he's had a number of injuries," Goodwin added.
"We know when he's fit, and he's on it, he's one of the best wingers in the league. But, unfortunately, the injuries have curtailed his progress."
