IVAN Campo is facing the prospect of his four-season Reebok career being over after suffering the cruellest of injury blows.

The former Real Madrid defender broke his right foot in Saturday's FA Cup triumph over Arsenal and could be sidelined for the rest of the season.

And, with his current contract expiring in June, it is possible he may have played his last senior game for Wanderers.

The injury is a major body blow for Sam Allardyce, whose squad had already been decimated by injuries and African Cup of Nations commitments, but for Campo it is a personal tragedy.

The 31-year-old two-time European Cup winner who joined Wanderers in August 2002, had only recently returned from a fractured left-foot, which kept him out for 12 weeks earlier in the season.

Wanderers initially thought the damage, sustained in a challenge that earned Arsenal's new midfield signing, Abou Diaby, a booking, was confined to a deep wound around the ankle area.

But hospital X-rays on Saturday night showed he had also suffered a fracture.

It took Campo three months to get back into Premiership action after his previous injury, although he was held up by a three-match suspension after a red card in a comeback game in the reserves.

It has already been widely reported in Spain that he will return to La Liga on a free transfer to play for his former club, Real Mallorca, in the summer.

But Allardyce said recently that, if he were to re-establish himself in the pivotal midfield role he once made his own, he could be offered a new contract to extend his Reebok stay.
