"His energy is infectious" - Wolves boss excited about Rodrigo Gomes' return

Edwards confirmed he is in contention to face Salop in the FA Cup at Molineux and the head coach had nothing but praise for Gomes' attitude and application.

"Straight away with him being around, his smile is infectious, his energy is infectious," Edwards said.

"I'm all about that and with the position that we're in right now, we need as much of that as we can get. 

"That just rubs off on people, maybe a bit like Mane has as well, and all of a sudden then there's a few more running around and it snowballs. 

"So him being amongst it is a real plus for us. 

"Even when he was injured, when you're around him, it puts a smile on my face, so it's great to have him back out there."

Edwards has not been afraid to make changes to his team in the search for results and the head coach is ready to continue that philosophy.

"We've had to make some calls," Edwards said.

"People have had opportunities and football is about competition and I have to make some decisions. That's my job and one of the things I'm paid to do.

"It's never personal. If we want to make changes, it's always about the team. That's all it ever is.

"It's good that people that have come in, in recent weeks, have made a positive effect. 

"That doesn't mean to say they're in forever, they've got to keep performance levels high and then the people that maybe aren't starting right now have got to fight back. 

"But that's what improves the group and improves the squad and hopefully improves performances and results."
