DAVID Ngog will be out for three months after dislocating his shoulder at Leicester City last night.
The French striker could need an operation later today after a heavy fall in the second half of the 3-2 defeat at the King Power Stadium and will certainly miss the remainder of Wanderers' campaign.
The injury mirrors that suffered by Mark Davies against Huddersfield Town back in December, which saw the midfielder ruled out of the action until mid-February.
Ngog had become a key figure in the late surge for a play-off spot and has started the last 12 games for Dougie Freedman.
He took his tally to eight goals with a penalty against Leicester but now joins Davies (cruciate ligament), Keith Andrews (groin), Tyrone Mears (blood infection) and Jay Spearing (broken toe) on the absentee list over the next three games.
