Kalajdzic, a deadline-day signing, suffered an injury setback on his debut when he subbed off in Wolves' narrow win over Southampton.

The club say scans showed an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and he will see a knee specialist on Monday.

“Sasa felt a pain in his knee late in the first half against Southampton. Unfortunately, scans reveal an anterior cruciate injury and he will see a knee specialist tomorrow," a club statement read.

Wolves will be dealing with a double agony as marksman Raul Jimenez has also aggravated a knee injury he suffered in pre-season.

“It was felt that his body needed a few more days to recover after he felt a pain in his groin during the warm-up and we did not want to put him at increased risk of injury."
