Nuno gives injury update ahead of Bolton v Wolves

Injured Wolves duo Ivan Cavaleiro and Ryan Bennett will both sit out tomorrow's trip to Bolton – but Ruben Neves is fit to play.

Cavaleiro and Neves both limped out of last weekend's 2-0 win over Blues at Molineux.

Neves has recovered and is available to face the Trotters as Wolves look to earn the solitary point they need to become champions of England's second tier.

However Cavaleiro, who appeared to pick up a hamstring strain, is unavailable and Bennett has picked up a knock in the week.

Nuno Espirito Santo hopes the pair will still play some part of the remainder of the season, with games against Sheffield Wednesday and Sunderland to follow in the next two weeks.

"Ruben is available for the game, Cavaleiro and Bennett are not available," Nuno said at today's pre-Bolton press conference.

"Hopefully they'll be involved again this season, let's see if they can recover.

"Like we always do to all the players we respect their time of recovery. It doesn't make sense to force or to push something that can injure the player."
