Wolves boss eyes injury boost

Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Mick McCarthy is hopeful that his squad will be boosted by the returns of four players for this weekend's clash with Fulham at Molineux.

Kevin Foley (knee), Sylvan Ebanks-Blake and Jody Craddock (both hamstring) have all returned to training this week, while foot injury victim Michael Kightly lasted nearly an hour of a reserve team fixture against West Ham.

McCarthy told the Birmingham Mail:"Jody, Kevin, Michael and Sylvan all could be back. It would be great to have those four back if it happened.

"Kights' playing for the reserves is really good news. We'll see how he does, but it's been good to have him back in training.

"Could he start on Sunday? We'll see how he does.

"Sylvan will train again today and Kevin has trained on Monday and Tuesday.

"Jody could be in training by the end of the week if all goes well. Those lads all have a chance of being in the squad."
