Wolves have been boosted with the news that several of their injured players are making good progress and are close to first-team returns.

Ebanks-Blake: Responding well to treatment
Ebanks-Blake: Responding well to treatment

Michael Kightly, Matt Jarvis and Sylvan Ebanks-Blake have all been recent additions to Wolves' treatment room, which was already busier than hoped for due to injuries to Jody Craddock, Lewis Gobern, George Elokobi and Matt Hill.

But head physio Steve Kemp has given a promising verdict, telling the club's official website: "Michael (Kightly) is responding well to rehab so fingers crossed he should be back in training early next week in preparation for the game against Coventry.

"Matt (Jarvis) has just come off his crutches now which is good and we're just trying to keep the mobility in his hamstring while allowing it to heal at the same time. He's progressing nicely for the stage that he's at.

"We're hoping Sylvan (Ebanks-Blake) will respond well to treatment and we're liaising closely with the England staff (while he's on Under-21 duty).

"Jody Craddock will hopefully be back in training within two weeks, Lewis Gobern has been in full training now for a couple of weeks, George Elokobi is now full-time at the training ground working hard post-surgery and Matt Hill is responding well."
