Now manager Andoni Iraola has confirmed the injury is a little worse than the club thought.
“Yeah, he's injured,” Iraola told the Daily Echo.
“Adam Smith is injured, he has a muscle injury. There's something there.
“He could play until the 45 but he couldn't continue (against Manchester United).
“And the assessments show that he has a small muscle injury so he will be out for some time.”
