CARDIFF City striker Robbie Fowler looks to be out for the rest of the season with a hip injury.
Fowler, 32, flew to America recently for minor surgery on the long-standing problem.
But medical staff had to perform a 'micro-fracture' of the hip bone after discovering a more serious condition.
A Bluebirds statement said: "Nobody knows how long he will be out. He is here having treatment and we will see how it goes."
