Mick McCarthy will know the scores
Friday 20th May 2011, 4:00PM BST.
Wolves boss Mick McCarthy will assign someone to keep him in touch with vital results on Survival Sunday.
The whole of Molineux will be anxious to learn how rivals Birmingham are faring at Tottenham, Blackpool at Manchester United and Wigan at Stoke in the closest ever Premier League survival battle.
McCarthy said: “We will have someone scanning the results. We haven’t got people at other games – besides, we have to take care of our own.
“If we win – and it’s far from an easy game – then no-one can do anything about us staying up.
“Blackburn will be saying the same.”
McCarthy refused to rule out Kevin Doyle, who aggravated his knee injury in his comeback in last Saturday’s 3-1 win at Sunderland.
Doyle trained with the physios today but McCarthy is giving the £6.5million striker as long as possible to recover.
The Wolves boss said: “Kevin is a doubt with his knee but he’s been out jogging today and we’ll see how he is.”
Stephen Ward and Stephen Hunt, who both failed to attend the end of season awards dinner on Wednesday because of a bug, are fit.
McCarthy said: “They just had the sniffles but they’re both fine.
“Matt Jarvis went home today with the sniffles but he’ll fine – training today would have been to his detriment.”
