The Wigan striker suffered the injury landing awkwardly in Tuesday's 2-0 Carling Cup defeat to Arsenal and was initially expected to be sidelined for around six weeks.
But he has been sent for more examinations and Martinez is now anticipating a three-month lay-off.
Moses could therefore be out of action until the start of March and Martinez admits it would be difficult to cope without a player who has blossomed this season after moving to the DW Stadium from Crystal Palace last winter.
"It is a huge setback. We haven't got the final assessment but we fear the worst," he said.
"It seems it could be the best part of three months that we are going to miss
Victor.
"It is a real blow. He has worked hard to earn his place in the side and he has done that with real style. You could see slowly he was imposing himself.
"Now he has been knocked back by an injury but we will make sure he comes back ready to have a big say in the final three months of the campaign."
