LEE Barnard is set to be out for another two months after requiring surgery on his ankle.
Nigel Adkins revealed after the 1-1 draw with Pompey that the striker is facing an extended spell on the sidelines.
Barnard only recently returned to action after being kept out since pre-season with the problem.
However, he has been absent from the squad in the last two matches.
The 27-year-old has made just five substitute appearances this campaign, and is now set to be missing until well into the new year.
