"So the bad news is that I broke my fibula and damaged some ligaments," the 26-year-old, capped 12 times by his country, said on Twitter on Tuesday.

"Operation soon and hopefully be back in three to four months."

Visser was carried off on a stretcher midway through the first half of the match, which Edinburgh won 20-13.

Scotland open their November series against Japan at Murrayfield on November 9, followed by South Africa and Australia on consecutive weekends.

A replacement is yet to be named.
