Club physio Jon Fearn told the club's website: "We saw a specialist on Tuesday to discuss the problem and he agreed we had done as much as we could in terms of conservative treatment.
"Now we'll look at surgery next Monday.
"How long he'll be out depends on what we find when we go in , he has an inflamed ankle which is aggravated by some bone in the back of the ankle."
Oster has been troubled by the injury since facing Everton back in August.
