Wolves striker Chris Iwelumo has refused to rule out playing a part in the climax to Scotland's World Cup qualifying campaign - but backed his team-mates to deliver success with or without him.

The 30-year-old limped off during Wanderers' 1-0 victory over Perth Glory following a tangle of legs with former Leeds player Jacob Burns and X-rays later revealed a metatarsal break.

Iwelumo will have a better idea of how long he can expect to be sidelined when he goes under the knife this week.

He told Sky Sports News: "We will know more after the operation and take it from there. I`ll be getting an operation on Tuesday and then basically I`ll be going into a rehab programme.

"I`ll be trying to maintain the fitness that I have just now, I`m in pretty good shape.

"I just want to keep on top of it and look after myself as much as possible."
