But he remains optimistic that Stead can still play some part in City's season.
He said: "It will not be two or three weeks out like it was the last time Jon suffered an injury like this - it will be nearer five or six.
"But that is a worse-case scenario. We hope we could have Jon back for the last games of the season, but will have to see how it goes."
