ADRIAN Morley is again expected to be out for around six weeks with a displaced fracture of his left cheekbone.

Wolves have now confirmed the Great Britain international forward is set to go under the knife later this week to repair the damage sustained in a clash of heads with teammate Paul Johnson against Hull KR on Sunday.

The game was Morley's first since fracturing his left eye socket on the opening day of the season at Wigan and, although the new injury is not identical to that one, it is in the same area of his face.
