"It is possible Angel will need surgery," Carvalhal said, adding that midfielder Leon Britton is also struggling with the same muscle problem.

"Leon will have an injection and he will soon be training with us, but Angel will be longer," Carvalhal added.

Sanches injured his hamstring in an FA Cup game last month while Fer (Achilles) and Bony (knee) have both been ruled out for the rest of the season.
