The 21-year-old suffered up the injury late on in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Championship leaders Burnley.
After being recalled early from loan at League One side Millwall, he was making his first Wolves start in five months.
But there is now a chance he may not play again this season, after being ruled out for a minimum of four weeks.
"We will have to see how he progresses," said Wolves medical chief Phil Hayward. "He has sustained an injury to his left quad and scans have revealed it to be a grade two injury.
"He has a chance to be back and available before the end of the season. He will be out for probably four to six weeks."
Wolves boss Kenny Jackett is now without eight first-team players.
Striker Nouha Dicko, wingers Razak Boukari and Jordan Graham and defender Ethan Ebanks-Landell are all out for the season, while centre-half Mike Williamson, winger James Henry and midfielder Dave Edwards are also absent.
Edwards, who is on course to return from his broken foot next month, is still hopeful of being fit for Wales' Euro 2016 campaign this summer.
Williamson and Henry could return sooner, having been lined up to resume training following the Easter weekend.
Beacuse of the international break, Wolves do not have a game until Saturday 2 April when they host former manager Mick McCarthy's Ipswich Town.

A grant of £1.78m from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) will be used to create Scotland's first centre for children's literature and storytelling.
It is part of £4.8m the HLF is donating to five projects across Scotland.
Others include Campbeltown Picture House, which will receive £1.1m to fund restoration and improvements.
The Peter Pan Moat Brae Trust hope to promote "creativity, imagination and play" with its plans for the house and garden where Barrie played as a child.
In November it received £687,500 from Creative Scotland. The HLF grant moves the trust closer to its goal of raising £5m for the project.
Actress Joanna Lumley, who is a patron of the trust, said: "This grant will make a sensational difference to Moat Brae and the plans for the future of the Peter Pan Moat Brae Trust.
"It means that we can now move swiftly towards our goals of restoring the house and gardens in readiness for its role in the literary life of children in Scotland.
"Our aims are to nurture the memories of past writers and to encourage the emergence of new talent, to respect our extraordinary literary inheritance and to enable children's imaginations to fly, like Peter Pan."
Work is expected to get under way next year at the building, which was home to JM Barrie's childhood friends while he was a pupil at nearby Dumfries Academy.
An exhibition space will be created within the existing building and two extensions will house visitor facilities including a shop and cafe, and a learning and education suite.
Trust chairman, Dame Barbara Kelly, said: "I believe Moat Brae will create a major attraction and focus for local, national and international visitors.
"It has massive potential to contribute to the local economic, social and cultural regeneration of Dumfries and has the ability to attract much-needed inward investment and could create up to 35 new jobs."
Colin McLean, head of the HLF in Scotland said it was delighted to support the "ambitious" and "inspirational" project.
"A new breath of life has the potential to transform them into a visitor attraction that could boost the town's tourist economy and inspire children today and tomorrow, as they once inspired JM Barrie," he said.
Other HLF grants have been distributed to Heritage Inverclyde, Merkinch Welfare Hall and Wildcat Action.
Wolves midfielder Jed Wallace has become the Championship club's latest injury casualty and will be out for up to six weeks with a thigh strain.
