The 26-year-old is with the Brewers until January 2 but hasn't featured since November due to suffering with the illness.

He is now out of hospital and recovering.

Wolves' sporting director Kevin Thelwell said: "Joe spent several days in hospital as a result of an acutely inflamed appendix.

"Fortunately he has now been discharged and is back at Compton to start his recovery.

"It is such an unfortunate situation especially as he made a really good start to his loan spell, but the priority for now is for him to get healthy and then start thinking about returning to football.

"We remain in regular dialogue with Burton Albion and will assess Joe’s situation again when his loan spell ends in January, by which time hopefully he will have recovered or certainly be very close."
