The Lilywhites confirmed on Monday that the Uruguayan will undergo surgery and is expected to miss the rest of the campaign.
It was revealed last week that fellow midfielder, Bissouma, would need to have an operation on his ankle injury. It has now emerged that Mali international is expected to be out of action for almost two months.

In addition, Spurs will also be without Hugo Lloris for six to eight weeks after the Frenchman injured his knee ligaments in the 1-0 win over Manchester City (Telegraph).
Meanwhile, Ryan Sessegnon sustained a hamstring injury in training in the build-up to the clash against Leicester and is also expected to miss six weeks of action (Football.London).
