Zach Clough suffered a fitness setback just 30 minutes into his comeback game against Fleetwood on Saturday.
The Wanderers striker made his first start of the season at the Macron but limped off after chasing down a loose ball.
Clough had been sidelined with a hamstring strain since pre-season but now stands to miss next weekend’s trip to Charlton Athletic.
“It’s not serious but he described it as a ‘pop’ in his hamstring a little bit down from where he injured it before,” Phil Parkinson explained after the game.
“It’s very, very frustrating because he’s a key player and one we know can be a goalscorer for us.
“When we lost Cloughy as well it took away some of the ammunition but I thought Kaiyne Woolery did well in the second half and what we want him to do.”
Jamie Proctor should be fit in time to face Charlton after Parkinson had erred on the side of caution by leaving him out of the squad to face Fleetwood.
The summer signing had reported tightness in his hamstring after last week’s win at Bristol Rovers.
“We could have pushed him if we’d really had to but we decided to be sensible with him,” added the Whites boss.
