Plymouth Argyle's Northern Ireland goalkeeper Conor Hazard is likely to be out until December after undergoing ankle surgery.

The 26-year-old has been first choice this season following Michael Cooper's transfer to Sheffield United.

Hazard was hurt in the closing stages of Argyle's 1-0 Championship loss at home to Stoke City at the end of last month.

Hazard drew praise for his performance in the 1-1 draw at Queens Park Rangers earlier in August where nine-man Argyle held as the Rs had 20 shots at goal to Argyle's three.

New signing Dan Grimshaw, 26, will take Hazard's place following his move from Blackpool last month with 19-year-old Zak Baker likely to be his back-up.
