Shrewsbury Town boss Graham Turner has revealed that Jermaine Grandison will visit a specialist this week to determine to extent of a hip problem.
The 22-year-old, who has made just one appearance for the club in 2013, has suffered with the problem since the beginning of the season.
Turner told the club's official website: "Jermaine's going to see a specialist again towards the end of the week so we'll see what the prognosis is.
"The specialist is going to have a look at it and we'll see what he advises, whether surgery is necessary."
Grandison's return date has not yet been revealed.
