Wolves duo undergo surgery

Wolves duo Jamie O’Hara and Jody Craddock have undergone surgery on persistent injuries, the Premier League club have announced.

Midfielder O’Hara has not played since the 2-0 defeat to Blackburn last month due to a groin problem, while defender Craddock has not featured since last December with persistent hamstring trouble.

Both players have now had operations in an attempt to rectify the injuries, with the club confirming that they will be out of action for over a month.

In a statement on the club’s official website, the head of Wolves’ medical department, Steve Kemp, said: “Both Jamie and Jody have undergone successful operations.

“Jamie has been struggling with a groin problem for several months and every attempt has been made to maintain his availability whilst trying to strengthen and rehabilitate the groin at the same time.

“Unfortunately this was not possible and it is hoped that surgery will rectify the problem although it means he will be out for a further six to eight weeks.

“Jody has also undergone a minor procedure on a persistent hamstring problem and, while it is always difficult to predict, he is hoping to be available again within five weeks if his rehabilitation progresses well.”

Terry Connor’s side remain rooted to the bottom of the Premier League and are six points from safety with seven games left.
