Wolverhampton Wanderers head coach Bruno Lage has suggested that Max Kilman will miss the rest of the season through injury.
The 24-year-old has enjoyed the best campaign of his career, making 30 starts in the Premier League and performing to such a high standard that he has been watched by England boss Gareth Southgate.
However, the centre-back missed last weekend's defeat at Burnley courtesy of a twisted ankle, and Lage has given every indication that one of his star men will not feature again during 2021-22.
Speaking to reporters, as quoted by the Daily Mail, Lage said: "Max twisted his ankle and it will be hard for him to return. He will recover but there is less than a month until the end of the season.
"We need to understand what the problem is and the doctors are doing a fantastic job."
Despite alleged interest from bigger clubs in the Premier League, Kilman is expected to remain at Wolves this summer with over four years remaining on his contract.
