Fraizer Campbell, who has managed just four appearances this season because of a cruciate knee ligament injury, is undergoing a second operation after breaking down again in training.Bruce admitted last Friday that his £3.5m signing would miss most of the new campaign if surgery was required and his worst fears have now been realised, with Campbell preparing for another lengthy lay-off.
Bruce said: "Fraizer gets operated on today. He will be out for 12 months.
"He was out on the training ground yesterday having a bit of banter with the players. He's taken it okay because he is strong mentally.
"Thankfully, with his strength of mind, we think he will be okay. I hope he will be. If there's anyone mentally tough enough, it's him.
"It puts a bit more pressure on us for next season. Going forward as a club, we have to look to get over it because in the summer, we have got one striker (Asamoah Gyan)."
