Griffiths had surgery on his right knee earlier in the season

Livingston manager Roberto Landi has confirmed that Leigh Griffiths will require his second operation of the season after sustaining a knee injury.

Griffiths will undergo surgery on Monday after he broke down in training.

Landi feels the striker has been overworked on international duty after returning from his previous operation.

"When you come back from a big injury and have an operation in the knee like Sparky did - it is a lot of stress on his body," Landi told the club website.
