Wolverhampton Wanderers v Leicester City Team News
Ruben Vinagre is Wolves' only absentee for the visit of Leicester City to Molineux on Friday night.
The wing-back is currently sidelined with a hamstring problem and is not expected back for a number of weeks.
Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo has eased fears over Adama Traore’s fitness after the winger dislocated his shoulder before the squad’s winter break in Marbella.
Nuno told the club’s official website: “It’s less of a worry for him [Adama] because he’s strong and he has a lot of people taking care of him.
“The problem is there, of course, and it takes time to settle down, but the kind of work he’s doing, muscular work, it’s about getting stronger and taking care, avoiding some kind of contact, of course.”
