The former Germany international pulled up in training on Thursday and, after consulting with the club's medical staff, it was decided that an operation was the best way to resolve a problem which has been troubling him through pre-season.

According to a club statement, the operation was successful and Hanke will be sidelined for several weeks.

The 28-year-old will now work on recovering in time for the start of the season on 25 August.

Hanke scored eight goals for the Foals last season, helping them earn a place in the UEFA Champions League.
