Wolves have suffered a double injury blow with midfielders Dave Edwards and Michal Zyro facing lengthy spells on the sidelines.

Wales international Edwards broke his fifth metatarsal in the closing stages of Saturday's 1-1 draw with QPR at Loftus Road.

The 29-year-old underwent a scan on his left foot which confirmed the problem and he has now had surgery which is expected to rule him out of action for 12 weeks, according to the club's official website.

Phil Hayward, the head of the club's medical department, said: "Unfortunately Dave fractured his fifth metatarsal during a tackle in the game on Saturday.

"The normal rehabilitation time is around 12 weeks so we expect Dave to be out of action until around the middle to end of April."

Edwards tweeted on Tuesday: "Thankfully the surgery was a success Thanks for all the messages of support over last few days."

Zyro suffered a calf injury last week which kept him out of the game against QPR and he is expected to be sidelined for at least six weeks.

The 23-year-old Poland international had made an immediate impact at Molineux following his move from Legia Warsaw on January 2 with three goals in three games.

Hayward added: "Michal has sustained an injury to his calf which is complicated in that it is not just the muscle affected but the tendon structure between the muscles as well.

"It is a very important structure because there is a lot of load transmitted through that part of the leg and so it needs to heal completely and be 100 per cent strong before Michal goes back into competition again.

"We expect the rehabilitation process to be between six and eight weeks but will also be re-scanning the injury on a regular basis and will be led by the scan results as well as how he is symptom-wise."
