Wolves' Kenny Jackett hopeful of Leigh Griffiths return
Leigh Griffiths was set to boost Wolves by returning to training today as the club try to nurse both injured strikers back to fitness for Saturday's visit of Sheffield United.
Wolves' joint four-goal top scorer limped out of Saturday's fortunate 1-0 win at Shrewsbury after 66 minutes with an ankle injury.
But with head coach Kenny Jackett non-committal on Kevin Doyle recovering from the thigh strain that kept him out of action at the Greenhous Meadow at the weekend, he was at least more optimistic on the chances of Griffiths taking part.
"I think he should train today – that's the plan," said Jackett.
"It's just swelling on the ankle, whereas with Doyle, it's a thigh strain that showed up a very small tear on the scan.
"It's muscular which may be a bit more difficult.
"As soon as the swelling from Griffiths's ankle goes down, he'll be OK."
Meanwhile, Jackett steered clear of saying out-of-sorts midfielder David Davis would have followed Lee Evans out of the team if he hadn't been suspended this weekend after his fifth booking of the season.
"We'll see – that's reviewable game by game," he said.
"We'll see what type of reaction the players put in."
