"It's a tidying up situation. He's happy with it and the surgeon is happy with it," Dyche told a news conference ahead of Saturday's league trip to fifth-placed Arsenal.
"Hopefully it will be a straight-forward recovery, albeit some time."
Robbie Brady is doubtful for the trip to north London as he recovers from a knock sustained in the same match, while fellow midfielder Johann Berg Gudmundsson will be assessed before the game after shaking off a hamstring injury.
Burnley said Ireland international Jeff Hendrick had signed a year-long contract extension. The versatile midfielder's deal was due to expire at the end of the season.
Burnley are 18th in the league standings with 12 points after three wins, three draws and 11 defeats.
