The young Welsh midfielder had just returned to the first team and was an unexpected omission from Saturday's line up for many supporters.
Speaking to the Wigan Evening Post today, Malky Mackay has revealed Huws faces an ankle operation and up to three months out.
“Emyr’s rolled his ankle badly, we’ve had it looked at and he’s going to need operating on,” revealed Mackay.
“He’s going to be out for three or four months, and that’s a real disappointment.
“He came back in for a couple of games, he grabbed his chance and did really well, and it’s a real blow for us and him.”
