Wolverhampton Wanderers have recalled Kevin Doyle from his loan spell at Crystal Palace due to injury.

Palace landed the 31-year-old on transfer deadline day in a loan deal that was due to run until January.

But the south London club have had to send him back early and Doyle, who has made four appearances this season, could face surgery on what is thought to be a groin injury.

“He is back at Wolves and they are deciding whether they are going to operate on him.”

It’s yet another attacking setback for Kenny Jackett who is already without the injured Nouha Dicko, who could miss another five games in the New Year at the African Cup of Nations.

Bjorn Sigurdarson has returned from his loan at Norwegian side Molde but is ineligible under the terms of the switch until January.

It means Jackett only has Danny Graham, on loan from Sunderland, the misfiring Leon Clarke and rookie Liam McAlinden as his options up top.

And that striker scenario could look even bleaker soon with Graham due to return to The Black Cats in January.
