“He’s had a problem with his hip and he’s had to see a specialist,” said Maher.
“That will maybe need something doing to it as well.
“For Louis we’re bitterly disappointed because he worked so hard to try and get back and it’s going to take a number of weeks to get it sorted.
“He will be out for the foreseeable future.”
Lomas joined in the summer of 2022 and made 22 appearances last season.
