Portsmouth's Andre Green has minor knee operation

According to the winger's Twitter account, he today underwent a procedure to remove a cyst from his right leg.

Green admitted the issue had caused pain for the '˜last year', prompting him to seek medical assistance.

However, at this stage it is not clear how long the Aston Villa loanee will be sidelined for.

Tweeting from his account, @AndreGreen_, he wrote: '˜After feeling pain in my knee for the last year due to a cyst I finally decided to get it removed.

'˜Thankful everything went well & this small set back can allow me to get back to my best & play 100% fit!

'˜Looking forward to being back with the boys at Portsmouth & get going.'

The injury ruled Green out of last weekend's trip to Peterborough.

The 20-year-old was withdrawn at half-time of his Pompey league debut against Shrewsbury the previous week.
