Captain Karl Henry is on track to hand Wolves a boost by returning to action against Leicester in eight days' time.

The 29-year-old midfielder has missed the last two Championship games against Derby and Cardiff as well as the Capital One Cup tie against Northampton with a hamstring injury.

But manager Stale Solbakken said Henry will rejoin full training when the majority of the rest of the squad return after the international break next Tuesday.

"He'll be back in training next Tuesday so he can have a good few days' training before the Leicester game," said Solbakken.

"He's been out for two or three weeks but he was nearly fit and he broke down. I think the medical team are afraid of him breaking down so they want to give him two or three extra days.

"But I think he will be in contention for Leicester."
