The 23 year old was withdrawn by Southampton in the 55th minute having opened the scoring in their 2-1 win over West Brom at St Mary’s last weekend.
Smallbone reportedly travelled to Dublin for a further scan before being ruled out for their final Euro qualifier on Saturday against the Netherlands.
Ireland boss Stephen Kenny revealed earlier in the week that Smallbone was one of many doubts for the trip to Amsterdam.Wolves had previously expressed interest in Che Adams, but they believe he will not leave in January because he prefers to run out his contract and look for more lucrative options in the summer.
Southampton may explore proposals for Adams in January in order to secure a fee, but they cannot compel him to go. If he stays, he could help the squad regain promotion to the Premier League.
Despite the transfer speculation, Southampton is focused on their next games and their aim of catching the top two teams in the league, which begins with a game against Huddersfield Town.
Wolves have held an interest in Southampton’s Che Adams, although they fear the striker will not look to move in the January transfer window.
