Wolves injury list grows as James Henry ruled out
Wolves were today left counting the cost of a double wing blow after James Henry joined Bakary Sako on the sidelines.
Henry lasted just 11 minutes of last night's 0-0 draw at Stevenage after suffering a groin injury and has been all but ruled out of Saturday's visit of Peterborough.
The former Millwall wide-man joins Sako, who has a toe injury, in the treatment room at a time when Wolves need all the bodies they can to secure automatic promotion with six games left.
Head coach Kenny Jackett said: "I can't see Henry being right on Saturday but you never know. We'll see how he is."
Jackett admits Wolves must find a different way to win without their twin wing threat.
"We've had such a good run with no injuries but we have to just find another mix now," he said.
"We didn't have the natural balance we've had recently with Henry and Sako out and so there was a different look to our frontline.
"That's always going to happen in this spell of matches. We'll have to keep working away at it and try to get people back fit. But the balance and the flow of the team has to change slightly."
Last night's point edged Wolves to within a maximum of 10 points of automatic promotion, while they lost no ground with second-placed Brentford drawing 0-0 at Sheffield United.
Wolves' clean sheet moved them to within one of equalling the club record 23 from 1923-24.
Mark Kendall kept 28 shutouts in 1987-88 but 'only' 22 were in the league.
