01 December 2009 16:50
The 23-year-old visited a specialist on Tuesday after being forced off half an hour into Sunday's 1-0 home defeat to Birmingham, with scans indicating he will have to go under the knife.[LNB]McCarthy told the club's official website: "He's had a scan and it looks like he'll need an operation which would be six to eight weeks out."[LNB]The news comes as a blow to Wolves, with Kightly impressing of late after a troubled start to the campaign following hip and foot surgery, but McCarthy accepts the prognosis is not as bad as it could have been.[LNB]"The way he went over and rolled his ankle apparently he's quite lucky and it could have been worse," he said.[LNB]"We've not really had Michael at his full potential yet and Sunday was the first time we'd maybe seen that and then he picks up a new injury.[LNB]"It's really disappointing for him because he wants to play and he thought he was somewhere at it.[LNB]"He was really down about it all yesterday but today he's brightened up because it looks like being six to eight weeks.[LNB]"That's almost good news in terms of what could have happened."[LNB][LNB] Wolves v Bolton.
