Tennai Watson
Tennai Watson joined MK Dons from Reading in the summer of 2021
MK Dons defender Tennai Watson is facing a spell on the sidelines following hamstring surgery.
The 25-year-old had to go off during a pre-season friendly against Cheltenham and missed Saturday's season-opening 1-0 defeat at Cambridge United.
Watson played 36 games last season to help the Dons reach the play-offs.
"He's had surgery so he's out for a little while. It's unfortunate as he was looking strong in pre-season," said head coach Liam Manning.
"He'll get back as and when - it's important we look after him and make sure we do everything properly and not rush him back," he told BBC Three Counties Radio.
"He's such a big part of what we do."
The Dons have also lost midfielder Josh McEachran, who had to go off after 37 minutes against Cambridge with a groin injury.
He will miss the club's first home League One game of the season against Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.
