The Championship side, who are bottom of their league, were 1-0 victors over the Premier League leaders on Sunday.
However, the win came at a cost for Bosnian Katic - who will need some dental work done next week.
The centre back collided with midfielder Adam Randell's elbow during the clash at Home Park.
He was soon tended to by the club's physios with blood coming from his mouth and an obvious gap in his teeth.
