Wolves boss Stale Solbakken will spend the next two weeks trying to recruit loan players and a new coach.

The Molineux chief is to spend the international break wisely with Wolves depleted by injuries to three wingers and still without a replacement for assistant boss Terry Connor.

Slawomir Peszko is out for three months with torn medial knee ligaments, Razak Boukari for four to five weeks with a torn calf and Stephen Hunt for four months with a hernia problem.

Kevin Doyle missed today's game at Blackburn with a thigh injury sustained in training yesterday.

Solbakken was due to meet an un-named German coach today, possibly with a view to the candidate being at Ewood Park to watch the game.

Solbakken said: "Maybe now we're going into an international break, we can have time to see what we can do in the loan market and have some more concrete conversations with people (regarding a new coach).

"I can't comment on other players at other clubs, but we have to see if there's something we can do."
