Wolverhampton Wanderers have been handed a blow with the news that Silvio has been ruled out for up to four months.
The Portuguese full-back arrived at Molineux with a history of injury problems and he has been restricted to just three appearances this season.
The 29-year-old has not featured for the Championship side since October 22 and he now faces an extended spell on the sidelines after breaking his foot during training.
It is expected that Silvio - who signed a 12-month contract in July - will be absent until the middle of March.
