"This is the news we were fearing when we sent him for scans and everybody is disappointed to learn we will have to do without Cole for a month."

He added: "Cole has been a consistent performer for us and his versatility is a real asset."

Skuse has made 31 appearances for McInnes's side this season, who currently sit one place above the Championship drop zone.
