While Gudjohnsen has an ankle injury in his left leg, Bikey injured a tendon of his right thigh that effectively ends their campaign with the club for the season.
FC Pune City CEO Gaurav Modwel said this was a big loss for the club. "Eidur is the leader of the team and both him and Andre are excellent players and amazing human beings. It's a rude shock to me to learn about their injuries and their presence will be missed by everyone in the club.
"Eidur is very disappointed himself. We wish both players a speedy recovery and hope to see them on the pitch soon. I am sure our team and coaches will fight this challenge with renewed vigour and confidence."
Former Barcelona and Chelsea striker Gudjohnsen, 38, said: "What was an exciting start to my new journey in India with FC Pune City, has come to an abrupt end, unfortunately. Just a few days back, on my left ankle, what I thought was a niggle, turned out to be more than that."
Head coach Antonio Habas said: "The injuries to Eidur and Andre both are unfortunate developments for us. Eidur had a very good pre-season training stint with us in Spain, where he showed us his formidable skills.
"But then injuries are a part of every sport and football is a team game so we have to move on. Eidur leaves behind a lot of valuable inputs that came with his experience and the boys have learnt a lot from his presence during the pre-season training in Spain. We wish both all the best for their future."
