Southampton winger Mohamed Elyounoussi has been ruled out for the remainder of 2019.
The Norway international, who is currently on loan at Scottish giants Celtic, has been struggling with a foot injury for a couple of weeks.
Prior to the injury, Elyounoussi was shining for the Hoops, domestically and in the UEFA Europa League.

Lennon confirmed at his press conference that the wide-man would not feature again this calendar year.
Elyounoussi failed to impress at the Saints and was sent on a season-long loan to Celtic by manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.
READ SOUTHAMPTON VERDICT
Elyounoussi was showing glimpses earlier this season of why Southampton paid so much to secure his services.
The injury comes as a blow to him personally as well as Southampton, because it has halted his momentum and form.
He could still force himself back into the plan at Southampton if he has a successful second half to the season and he’ll feel that he deserves a second chance.
