Wolverhampton Wanderers will have to make do without the services of David Edwards for the next few weeks.
The Welsh midfielder was stretchered off during Saturday's 4-1 win over Bristol City at Ashton Gate and scans have since shown that he has torn his hamstring.
As a result, manager Stale Solbakken does not expect to have the 26-year-old available for selection until January at the earliest.
"It's a torn hamstring, so December has gone for him," said Solbakken. "I didn't really see how he did it, but it's a bad one.
"He just went straight down in the corner. That may be down to him playing too many games lately, but he hasn't really had a choice."
Edwards joined Wolves from Luton Town in 2008.
