Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Stephen Hunt will visit a specialist regarding his persistent groin injury.
The complaint has forced the Republic of Ireland international to miss a number of a games in recent weeks.
Having been forced to pull out of a training session yesterday morning, it has now been decided that the 30-year-old will seek expert advice on the problem.
"Stephen pulled out of training yesterday and he's seeing a specialist. It's the ongoing stuff with his groin," said manager Terry Connor. "He felt it in training on Monday and, although he trained on Tuesday, the general consensus was that he should get it looked at.
"We feel the best thing is for the doctors to take another look and see if they can get to the root of the problem.
"I don't know if he will need surgery or not but it's clear something is still bothering him. Rather than keeping going, the best thing is to seek another medical opinion."
Hunt joined Wolves in 2010 from Hull City.
