Murray's comeback setback

Goalkeeper Matt Murray's latest comeback game for Wolves has ended in frustration after just 45 minutes.

The giant stopper, playing in a friendly against Wigan at Compton, limped off at half-time with a dead-leg.

Murray was injured in an innocuous looking challenge, as he came to collect a low cross towards the edge the penalty area.

The luckless Wolves shot-stopper should hopefully be back in action soon, as he was able to continue for the rest of the half before being substituted at half-time to be replaced by youngster Richard Woolley.

Wolves also handed match practice to former Sunderland midfielder Jeff Whitley, who was one of five half time changes. Whitley is at the club to get fit following his release from the Stadium of Light.

The home side lost 1-0 to a deflected Joe Holt corner in the 24th minute following a defensive mix-up.

Mick McCarthy's men went close on a number of occasions as George Friend, Jason Shackell, Mark Davies, Darren Potter and Michael Gray also gained valuable match practice.

Academy Sam Winnall twice went close in the first half for Wolves, while Ashley Hemmings saw an effort smothered by Wigan keeper Neil Postlethwaite.
