Charlton Athletic manager Guy Luzon has confessed that he is still not sure when striker Igor Vetokele will make a return to first-team action.
The 23-year-old has started just one game for the Addicks so far this campaign due to an Achilles problem.
Having seen his form nosedive on the back of an 11-goal campaign last time out, there were strong suggestions that Bolton Wanderers would take the former Copenhagen ace on loan.
That move did not transpire, however, and Luzon admits that there is still no timescale on Vetokele's return to full fitness.
"I really don't know," he is quoted as saying by the South London Press. "What can I do? I can't control his body. Injuries are part of the game. I hope all the players will be fit sooner so I can use them."
Vetokele's last Charlton appearance came in the final 30 minutes of the 3-0 defeat at Blackburn Rovers on September 19.
