Solbakken delight at Wayne Hennessey's progress
Wolves Player of the Year Wayne Hennessey this afternoon gave the club a huge boost with the news he should be playing again in six weeks' time.
The Wales international received the all-clear to step up his training after a meeting with his surgeon about his ruptured cruciate ligament yesterday.
And the positive news means the 25-year-old could even be in action by the next international break, when Wales are in World Cup qualifying action.
Hennessey, who was injured in the 0-0 draw at Sunderland on April 14, is hoping to be available either when Wales host Scotland on Friday, October 12 and visit Croatia four days later, or for when Wolves travel to Huddersfield on October 20.
Manager Stale Solbakken said today: "He should be able to play a game after the next international break.
"It's going to plan and what he's doing now is ahead of schedule. So when he trains for three or four more weeks, he can step up and play a game in five or six weeks from now.
"Wayne will need a bit of time until he's match-fit because he can't go in and play from day one."
