The 22-year-old had featured in nine league games for the Robins this season, but he has missed the last three games.
And, the club announced details of his injury on their official site this afternoon. However, they didn’t offer a timeframe on Dasilva’s recovery, as they say they won’t know until he has had the operation.
Given the nature of the setback, along with the fact that Dasilva is requiring surgery, it’s unlikely that he will be back any time soon. The former Chelsea man missed four months with a similar injury last season.
