Helder Costa and Ben Marshall nearing Wolves return

The pair have been sidelined for around a month with ankle and hip injuries respectively.

Costa's recovery is on track. He underwent surgery on July 10 for the ankle problem that's been bothering him since the start of April and the timeframe for his return was two months.

Marshall's expected absence wasn't released by Wolves after he left the club's pre-season tour of Austria with a hip injury.

But Nuno has revealed that the pair are both due to return to training in the next couple of weeks.

Of Costa, the boss said: "He is a couple of weeks. He's still on recovery, hopefully in a couple of weeks he'll join the group and then it's all about getting back in shape again...hard work for him.

"Then we'll choose the right moment (for him to play) because after he joins he cannot take a step back.

"He has to join (the group) and progress until he's ready to be an option for us."

Kortney Hause and Morgan Gibbs-White are also nearing a return.

Nuno added on Marshall: "Just a few weeks for Ben as well.

"He's the same process. Marshall, Kortney, Helder, Gibbs-White, they're "almost" but we have to be really careful.

"But it's important we have a squad to choose from and options to make. When they join the group, for certain we're going to be strong."
