Defender Ryan Bennett is still sidelined for Wolves as they visit Braga for their penultimate Europa League group game.
The centre-back has a groin problem while midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White (back) and defender Willy Boly (fractured leg) also remain out.
The game sees Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo return to his native Portugal.
Wolves trail Group K leaders Braga by a point and a draw would take both into the round of 32 with a game to spare.
The build-up saw Nuno identified as a potential replacement for Arsenal boss Unai Emery.
"There are no distractions at all," said Nuno. "I don't talk about things which are not real.
"What is real is that we are here, we have to train and prepare ourselves."
Braga are unbeaten in 11 European matches, winning eight, and if they avoid defeat they will set a new unbeaten record for a Portuguese club in Europe.
They have qualified for Europe in 15 of the past 16 seasons and reached the 2011 Europa League final, losing to Portuguese rivals Porto 1-0 in Dublin.
Wolves are fifth in the Premier League after winning their past three games while Braga are ninth in the Portuguese top flight having lost once in their last 12.

I bet Stale could be tempted back as his No. 2

No chance, that pub manager is eyeing us up in the last 32 in Europe

I wondered if Mick could be an option. Ireland won't be fussed if he leaves after taking them backwards and we would be guaranteed to emulate last year's achievements with him at the helm.

Being guaranteed 7th place again would be good, but maybe we're looking at 5th this time!

In fact a better suggestion than Cinci's is to have Mick in but working together with Moutinho, almost like a mentor, preparing him for eventual management.
Or maybe go for Brendan Rogers..?

I assume Arsenal would offer a lot more in terms of wages but that squad is in absolute ruin. Aside from 3 maybe 4 players at an absolute push there is a massive rebuilding job that needs to be done. They are light years away from even thinking about competing for league titles. Even top 4 would mean considerably better sides absolutely capitulating and Arsenal going on a long winning run. It just isn't happening.
The Arsenal fans wouldn't be happy with Nuno as rightly or wrongly they believe they are entitled to a top European manager such as Allegri, Benitez or Ancelotti etc who can then in theory can attract the big name high earning players to which they've become accustomed. Nuno doesn't have that pull but Fosun do which is why the partnership has worked so well thus far. Hoping he stays as you can tell there is so much more to come from this squad and the owners and he is a top, top fella.

Wouldn’t argue with that rjc but Nuno has taken Wolves from the Championship to the top 5 of the Premier League and the latter stages of the Europa League so I suspect he would be capable of taking Arsenal from where they are now to being a Champions League club

Talking to friends that went to the game last night it sounds like the fans were treated terribly by the local police at the ground. Most supporters arrived at the ground 1 hour before kick off and were gathered in a muddy field in torrential rain while they were all individually searched and had any flags or banners confiscated. Despite arriving an hour early, hundreds didn’t get into the stadium until well after kick off and in some cases after half time when Wolves were already 3-1 ahead
