Emmanuel Frimpong started five matches while on loan at Wolves
On-loan Wolves midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong has been ruled out for the rest of the season after being told that he ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee against QPR on Saturday.
The 20-year-old came off in the 24th minute of the 2-1 victory at Loftus Road and was informed of the diagnosis on Monday after a scan.
Frimpong, who was due to be on loan at Wolves until the end of the season, will now return to parent club Arsenal to continue his treatment.
"I want to thank all the Wolves fans for their support since I've been here and really hope Wolves stay up this season"

"Having had a similar injury to his left knee in 2010, Emmanuel will see specialists in London over the next few days before having surgery and starting a programme of rehabilitation," read an Arsenal statement.
"Emmanuel is expected to be out for a number of months and will therefore miss the remainder of this season.
"Everyone at Arsenal and Wolverhampton Wanderers wish Emmanuel a swift recovery."
Frimpong made 14 appearances for Arsenal this campaign before being loaned to Wolves at the end of December.
He impressed in his five-match spell at Molineux and was set to have been a key part of the club's attempt to avoid relegation from the Barclays Premier League.
On his official Twitter account, Frimpong said: "I want to thank all the Wolves fans for their support since I've been here and really hope Wolves stay up this season."
