FOOTBALL: Wolves goalkeeper Matt Murray - 0

Murray, who is recovering from a cruciate knee ligament injury, has been to see a specialist after suffering inflammation in the knee and will now have two injections to try and rectify the problem.

But Wolves coacg Mick McCarthy told the club's official website: "He's been doing his rehab and his agility work, bouncing on his knees, as you do as a goalkeeper and he's just got a bit of reaction to it.

"He's just got a bit of inflammation there and we'll get it injected and it will probably be three or four weeks.

"But we'll see what happens, it's all about when Matt is ready and we can't really judge when that will be."

Meanwhile, fellow keeper Wayne Hennessey is suffering from a slight ankle injury and will be rested for Saturday's pre-season friendly with Wrexham, handing Carl Ikeme a chance.
