Wolves today faced a double D-day which could leave them without two players for Saturday’s crunch clash at Bolton.

Ronald Zubar is looking at a probable lay-off after undergoing a scan on a knee injury sustained in Tuesday’s 1-1 draw at Arsenal.

And this afternoon Wolves were awaiting the Football Association’s verdict on the red card for Nenad Milijas at the Emirates, following an appeal being heard at 1pm.

Former Marseille defender Zubar fell awkwardly in a touchline challenge with Gervinho shortly before being forced off five minutes after the break.

Zubar spent the night in London after the scan and the club have yet to announce the results of the examination.

But there are concerns that the 26-year-old is facing another lay-off just six games into his comeback after six months out with back and groin injuries.

Boss Mick McCarthy thought immediately that Zubar was hurt – the challenge happened in front of the dugout – and remonstrated with Arsenal fans howling for him to be removed from the pitch.

“Zubar went down with an injury and the crowd were shouting because they want him to get off,” he said.

“I just think there has to be a bit of empathy towards the opposition.”

Wolves are prepared for a worst-case scenario on Milijas. Their evidence had to prove to the FA’s three-man panel that referee Stuart Attwell made a “serious and genuine error” according to FA rules in sending him off.

Although there was no malice in the Serbia international’s attempt to win the ball, there may be evidence of a studs-up challenge.

A three-match ban would leave Wolves without Milijas and Jamie O’Hara for at least three matches.

Such a ban would take Milijas out of league games with Bolton and Chelsea and the FA Cup clash with Birmingham while O’Hara isn’t expected back until the end of the month after surgery on a double hernia.
