Molineux: Home of Wolves(credit:

Relegation-threatened Wolves are sweating over the fitness of striker Kevin Doyle after he appeared to suffer a season-ending injury at the weekend.
Doyle was forced off with a knee injury after just 20 minutes of the Republic of Ireland’s Euro 2012 qualifier against Macedonia, and coach Giovanni Trapattoni believes the 27-year-old forward is facing a couple of months on the sidelines.
The Italian said: “It's his medial ligament. I think he may be out for one or two months, so it's a very serious injury.
“But I hope by May or June, he can come back and we can have him for the match in Macedonia.”
The extent of the injury suffered by Doyle is yet to be confirmed, but if he is out for a couple of months it will be a major setback for Wolves as they fight for Premier League survival.
Mick McCarthy’s men are currently third-from-bottom, the final relegation spot, with just eight games remaining this season.
