'I saw a specialist last week and the MRI scan revealed the extra bone growth at the back of my ankle. There is not a lot I can do about it.
'I was feeling good after completing pre-season training and being involved in the friendlies and the first three games of the campaign.
'There is not a lot I can do about it, but I am determined to work even harder after my operation to play my part for the team on my return.'
Dyer spent last season in loan at Leicester as they won the title. After returning to South Wales he signed a new four-year deal at Swansea.
