The 26-year-old suffered a nasty knock to the face towards the end of Wolves' 1-1 draw at Arsenal on Sunday.

He appeared to have a bruised cheek and required treatment for several minutes.

Doherty was assessed by a specialist yesterday and underwent a scan.

He will now return to Compton Park for treatment and will be a doubt for Wolves' game against Huddersfield Town at Molineux a week on Sunday.
