Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Bruno Lage addressed Willy Boly's absence in the Carabao Cup tie against Preston North End amid reports linking him with a move to Nottingham Forest.
Wolves sealed a 2-1 win over Preston at Molineux on Tuesday evening to book a spot in the third round of the competition. Forest target Boly was left out of the match day squad, but Lage revealed that was down to injury but did confirm a proposal has been received for the player.
Forest boss Steve Cooper is on the lookout for another centre-back following new arrival Moussa Niakhate's hamstring injury, which will see him sidelined for 'a few months'. Meanwhile, Boly is yet to feature for Lage this season and is in the final year of his contract at Wolves.
