The defender was stretchered off in the 82nd minute of their 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa after twisting h🥀is 🙈knee following a challenge from Morgan Rodgers.
Mosquera has since undergone scans, with Wolves reveali꧋ng that he has suffered injuries to the medial collateral ligame🐲nt (MCL) and the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
Wolves' head of high performance, Phil Hayward, said in a statement: "We will be visiting specialis🦄ts in the coming days to finalise the plan for surgery; this will take place in the next two weeks.
"Clearly, the🍷re is a long recovery period ahead for Yerson, and the club will be providing all thꦅe support he needs to ensure a successful rehabilitation and a return to competition in due course.
"Timescales are difficult to state prior to surge𓆏ry, but it is highly unlikely he will feature again this season."
The Colombian, who spent last season on loan at Villarreal, 𒈔has started all five of Wolves' Premier League games so far this campaign, with only Mario Lemina (449) p𝐆laying more than his 442 minutes.
In the top-flight, he has made the joint-most intercepti🌼ons for Wolves (10) and has won possession 24 times, a team-high, while he has won 29 duels, the second-best tally in the squad behind L🍬emina (32).
It is a huge blow for Wolves, who have claimed just one poꦯint so far this season and currently sit bottom of the table, while only in 2003-04 (first seven) and 2019-20 (first six) have they gone longer without victory from the start of a campaign in the competition.
Wolves' next match is against Liverpool at home on𒉰 Saturday.
