Bristol City midfielder Scott Wagstaff could be sidelined until the end of March after suffering a shoulder injury on Tuesday night.
Wagstaff popped a joint in his shoulder during the 2-1 defeat to the Sky Blues, but manager Steve Cotterill is relieved that the 23-year-old will return before the end of the campaign.
The 49-year-old told BBC Radio Bristol: "The big news is that he won't need an operation because, if he had, that would have been it for the rest of the season."
The former Charlton Athletic midfielder has scored five times in 34 appearances for Bristol City this season.
