England winger Elliot Daly will see a specialist on Wednesday to find out if he requires surgery on the ankle injury he suffered in Wasps' win over La Rochelle on Sunday.
Daly scored twice in the 21-3 victory in the Champions Cup, which kept alive Wasps' hopes of progressing to the quarter-finals, but had to leave the field in the second half.
No 8 Nathan Hughes and fly-half Jimmy Gopperth will also see a specialist on Wednesday to assess knee injuries suffered in the game, but Wasps expect them to be out for at least a month.
In a statement on the club's website, Wasps director of rugby Dai Young said: "Our club doctor has taken a look at Nathan Hughes, Elliot Daly and Jimmy Gopperth to assess the injuries they suffered against La Rochelle.
"He thought they should all get an MRI scan, and when the scans came back it didn't look particularly good news.
"They are all seeing specialists tomorrow (Wednesday), so we'll know more then, but we can certainly say they'll be out for a few weeks.
"Elliot has injured his ankle. He has a syndesmosis injury, which is pretty common.
"He is going to see the specialist to see whether any surgical intervention is required, which depending on the grade of the injury hopefully it won't be.
"Jimmy and Nathan both have MCL injuries to their knees. Again, we're waiting on the specialist to let us know what is required, but we can safely say even the best picture, which is a grade one tear, will require a minimum of four weeks."
With two rounds remaining in the pool stages of the Champions Cup, Wasps are three points behind second-placed Ulster in Pool 1 and five points behind leaders La Rochelle.
