Wilson scored in his side’s opening day of the season win over Nottingham Forest and again against City before hobbling off after 70 minutes.
He added: ‘It’s frustrating because you do everything right – the ultimate professional.
‘There are probably not many people in the dressing room that are more professional than myself – the way I eat, the way I sleep, the way I recover.
‘That’s the most frustrating thing – you’re putting your heart and soul into making sure you stay there. A little setback – it’s fine – but I’ve had to put it into perspective.’
