Wolves team news: Teenager makes first appearance in defence
It’s a big night for the youngster.
Wolves boss Cesar Peixoto has handed a professional debut to teenager Saheed Olagunju in Tuesday’s Carabao Cup second round tie at Sheffield Wednesday.
The 19-year-old, who joined the club from Chelsea two years ago, will partner Nasser Djiga at the heart of central defence with Peixoto making eight changes from the weekend’s 3-1 win at Preston.
Djiga is one of those to keep his place, along with Rodrigo Gomes and Jose Sa, who starts again in goal.
Midfielder Jordan James has been drafted into the team to make his first start since joining from Rennes on loan. There is also a rare start for Pedro Lima at right-back.
Wolves are aiming to make it three wins out of four to start the season, in what is their first visit to Hillsborough since a 2-0 win at the same stage of the Carabao Cup nine years ago.
