Wolves midfielder Karl Henry is out for up to four weeks with a hamstring injury, but concedes the situation could have been worse. After undergoing a scan on Monday afternoon which confirmed the extent of the injury, Henry is now hoping to be back in action before the end of the month.
Henry said:
"I was maybe in denial for a couple of minutes, thinking it would improve, and it was (Fulham striker) Andy Johnson who said I probably ought to go off!
"It's done now but, having had the scan, it's not as bad as I first thought it might be which is really good news.
"I've spoken to other people who have had hamstring problems and Matt Jarvis was out for 12 weeks once which is the worst case scenario.
"It's looking like three to four weeks so hopefully I can make it back in three weeks (by March 24) and be back fairly soon."
Henry added: "I've had a couple of injuries here and there at Wolves and usually impact injuries or the weight of someone's leg on my knee ligament.
"It's the first soft muscle tissue injury I've had and hopefully it's the last.
"I'll miss at least a couple of games which isn't great, particularly the Blackburn one coming up on Saturday." "I sprinted and bust a gut to try and stop a cross but, as I stretched, I must have over-stretched and felt something in my hamstring.
