His performances had seen him linked with a Premier League move.
A statement from the club said Roberts was “expected to be out of action until the end of September after the operation”.
It added: “The club’s medical team have been working closely with their counterparts at the Football Association of Wales, with a scan highlighting the severity of the injury.
“Everyone at Swansea City wishes Connor a speedy recovery.”
