O'Leary will visit a specialist on Monday after picking up a
shoulder injury during Saturday's 1-0 victory over Hibernian.

face St Mirren in Paisley on Saturday.

Ryan O'Leary will miss most of the
season after tests revealed he needs surgery on his injured
shoulder. The 20-year-old dislocated his shoulder in a collision
with former team-mate Colin Nish during Killie's Clydesdale Bank
Premier League win over Hibernian on August 9. The Scotland Under-21
player suffered a similar injury once before and a visit to a
specialist heralded bad news. "He will be out for six to seven
months," Kilmarnock boss Jim Jefferies said."The surgeon reckons he
will have to perform open surgery as opposed to the keyhole
procedure Ryan had before. "Ryan will do well to return before the
end of the season. "He is young enough to come back but this is
extremely unfortunate"
