Wolves midfielder Jamie O'Hara is set to be absent for a further two weeks as he struggles to overcome a hernia injury.
It was hoped the former Spurs midfielder would be fit by mid January after undergoing the operation in December but that has been and gone and he still looks to be at least two weeks away.
O'Hara was vital to last season's escape from trouble and the hope is he will be back sooner rather then later but Mick McCarthy has already ruled him out of next Tuesday's clash with Liverpool.
McCarthy said: "Jamie won't be ready for Liverpool. He's going to be another week to two weeks yet."
