Wolves striker Leon Clarke set to miss Port Vale clash

It was thought Clarke would be fit for a return against Vale after missing the last two games with a heel injury.

Now the much-travelled signing from Coventry has been pencilled in for a return to contention for the derby at Walsall on March 8.
