Wolves have handed Nottingham Forest a boost ahead of their Carabao Cup clash on Wednesday as Julen Lopetegui deals with a growing injury list.
Steve Cooper ’s side will be looking to bounce back from their 4-1 FA Cup humiliation against Blackpool on Saturday. The Reds are vying to reach the semi-finals of the League Cup for the first time since 1992 and will aim to prove that their defeat on the Lancashire coast was merely a blip.
Forest have been dealing with their own injury issues, with several long-term absentees, as well as Jesse Lingard being sidelined and doubts over Taiwo Awoniyi’s fitness after coming off against Southampton last week. However, it appears it will be a relatively level playing field as Wolves also have a growing number of players in the treatment room.
