O'Donnell suffered the injury while running in training and willundergo an operation next week to fix the broken bone.

The injury is similar to the one suffered by O'Donnell's StMirren team-mate Richard Brittain.

"It happened in training and it was non-contact. It was just oneof these things, it was just the way he landed.

"This seems to be an injury that is the in thing. At every clubsomeone seems to pick it up.
