Matt Jarvis today insisted he is "100 per cent fit" and ready to return to Wolves' starting line-up against Queens Park Rangers on Saturday.

The winger had an injection in his ankle last week and forced manager Mick McCarthy to change his starting line-up for the first time in the Premier League this season, when Michael Kightly replaced him in Saturday's 2-0 home defeat by Tottenham.

The injury had limited Jarvis to just two Friday training sessions in the previous fortnight but the England international, who came off the bench for the last 14 minutes against Spurs, revealed how an injection has now solved the problem.

He said: "It's been managed well and the injection has sorted it now, so I just want to carry on training and try to get back into the team.

"I'm 100 per cent fit and I want to carry on where I left off after a good start to the season.

"I hadn't been training fully up until the Spurs game because of the ankle – it wasn't fair having not trained to then play."
