Wolves will be without Jody Craddock and Dave Edwards for tomorrow's trip to Manchester City but Karl Henry could return.

Craddock only made his comeback this week from the thigh problem that has kept him out for 15 games when he played 63 minutes in the behind-closed-doors friendly against Leicester.

And the player himself admitted he needs "three or four" games before he can be considered for a first team return.

Henry appears to be ready though after making his comeback from a knee ligament tear in the same game.

"Jody, Karl and Steven Mouyokolo will travel, but Dave Edwards is out," said boss Mick McCarthy.

"But those coming back are more for next week."

Craddock said: "I've always needed three or four reserve games to be up to what I would consider a good enough standard.

"I've pretty much got the fitness but I need to be match-fit which you only get from playing games.

"I couldn't just play a first team game because it would be embarrassing.

"Another couple of weeks would be the plan that would be fantastic providing everything goes well.

"I only played 60-odd minutes this week but I need to play 80 or 90 minutes and once I've done that, I'll need to play another 90 minutes to get my sharpness back."
