Wolves youngster flies home from pre-season with minor injury
Wes Okoduwa has flown home from Wolves' pre-season training camp in Portugal after suffering a minor knee injury.
The 17-year-old rising talent signed his first professional contract with the club less than a week ago and was one of a handful of academy players given an opportunity with the first team during their training camp on the Algarve.
But Okoduwa has been unfortunate by suffering a minor knee injury, which has cut short his trip.
Instead, the teenager has flown home for treatment and Wolves are optimistic on the severity of the knock.
Okoduwa has been at Wolves for eight years and made the bench under Gary O'Neil as a 15-year-old, before turning down approaches from Chelsea to stay at Wolves.
He then signed his first professional contract recently and Wolves are hopeful of his chances of making an impact on the first team in the years to come.
Meanwhile, Bastien Meupiyou has not flown out with the first team and is instead with the under-21s.
The 19-year-old made the switch to Wolves last summer for around £4.2million but has found opportunities hard to come by.
