Town look set to be without central defender Iván Campo for more than a month after a scan showed the Spaniard had torn his calf muscle. The former Bolton and Real Madrid man limped off in the second half of Saturday's 1-1 draw with Sheffield Wednesday and is now on crutches.
Physio Matt Byard told the club site: "Iván has had a scan and there is a tear to his calf muscle.
"It's probably going to be about three weeks before we can get him out on the training ground and then he's got to get back to match fitness from there.â€Â
Alex Bruce looks likely to partner skipper Gareth McAuley at the heart of the defence in Campo's absence.
