Wolves return to FA Cup action with a trip to Blackburn on Sunday.

They face the Championship side following a crucial Premier League win over Villa, in the hope of continuing their momentum.

But who will Vitor Pereira not have available for the clash?

Jorgen Strand Larsen - 0% chance

The striker came off against Arsenal with a hamstring injury and subsequently missed the Villa game.

Pereira, albeit coy on the severity of the injury, did say he hoped to have the striker back within two or three weeks.

But he will be unavailable for the trip to face Blackburn this weekend, despite the head coach seeming optimistic on his recovery.

Pereira said: "He's working very well.

"Today I saw him on the pitch and we'll see.

"I don't want to put pressure on the medical department, but they are doing very good work with him.

"I hope he comes back as soon as possible."

Boubacar Traore - 50% chance

Traore has played twice for the under-21s following his return from a serious knee injury, which he sustained in August.

But he was ruled out of a return to the first team against Villa after falling ill with the flu.

He is now available but his inclusion on Sunday remains uncertain.

"Now he's available but in the last training he was not completely healthy," Pereira added.

"Maybe tomorrow he'll be back without problems."
