Michal Zyro is in line for a Wolves return against Bristol City tomorrow night - but James Henry and Mike Williamson are both still sidelined.

Polish forward Zyro has been out for almost two months with a calf injury sustained in the 3-1 home defeat to Cardiff on January 16.

He scored in that game - his third goal in just two appearances - and his return is a timely boost for Kenny Jackett.

Zyro may start on the bench tomorrow, but Jackett spoke of his delight at the January signing returning to his squad.

"It's a positive, we've been very impressed with his very short Wolves career so far," he said.

"He looks strong enough to handle English football and has an eye for goal, a vital commodity for the team at the moment.

"I'm looking forward to seeing how he progresses and builds on his early start as a Wolves player."

Elsewhere the injury news is not as positive.

Henry was expected to be in contention for Friday's trip to Middlesbrough but has suffered a setback and will miss both tomorrow's visit of Bristol City and the derby with Blues at Molineux on Sunday.

He has been sidelined since limping off in the 2-1 defeat against Preston on February 13.

Jackett said: "He's feeling the area behind his knee and the base of the hamstring.

"It looked like it was building up last week but he's gone backwards and won't be available this week.

"We'll see how things go after the Birmingham game if he can be involved at Burnley (March 19)."

And the outlook for Mike Williamson is even bleaker, with the centre half suffering glute muscle problems.

No date has been set for his return, but it won't be this week.

It comes as Ethan Ebanks-Landell was ruled out for the season with a broken metatarsal.
