Winger Smith, 28, has been sidelined since the beggining of January but will have a second scan as the club's physio team look to ease the problem.
"Danny will get his knee checked on Thursday, and we'll know what we are dealing with," Abbott told the club's official website.
"Danny is a really good, honest lad who will play through anything, but it got to the stage where he said he needed someone to look at it.
"Jeff will consult the surgeon and, as always with these cases, we'll know more once that process is complete."
