Cardiff manager Dave Jones may be forced into a defensive reshuffle as he returns to Molineux to face former club Wolves.Centre-back Glenn Loovens took a knock to the hip in Saturday's 3-2 defeat at Scunthorpe, while full-back Kevin McNaughton suffered a calf problem.

Darren Purse could deputise alongside Roger Johnson for Loovens, while Darcy Blake may be asked to fill in for McNaughton.

However, with Jones' threadbare squad leaving him desperately short of options, both players will be given every chance to prove their fitness to face Wanderers, who the FA Cup finalists beat on their way to Wembley.

The Bluebirds will again be without Northern Ireland striker Warren Feeney, while a hamstring problem is again expected to keep Paul Parry out of action.

Robbie Fowler is nearing a full recovery from his hip problem but the game will come too soon for the former Liverpool striker.
