Cardiff City striker Robbie Fowler has undergone surgery on a hip injury, having been out of action for nearly a month.
The 32-year-old former England international has flown to the USA for the operation, with Bluebirds boss Dave Jones hopeful that Fowler will soon be back in contention.
He told the Western Mail: "Robbie had a course of injections to help the hip settle down, but the only certain cure was surgery.
"It's a minor operation, but something which had to be done either now or at the end of the season.
"This is something which has troubled Robbie during his career.
"Now it needs to be sorted out and he'll soon be back to challenge for a first-team place."
