Problems mount for McCarthy

Wolves manager Mick McCarthy has a host of injury worries ahead of his team’s Barclays Premier League match against Sunderland.

Defender Steven Mouyokolo is struggling with a back injury and is rated as 50/50 for the match but McCarthy is hopeful that the Republic of Ireland's Kevin Foley, who injured his knee in training, and Steven Fletcher, who has a virus, will be fit to play.

Wolves will be without captain Karl Henry for two months after he suffered a knee injury during the team’s defeat at Blackpool.

Dave Edwards is also out with a thigh complaint.

Christophe Berra is suspended, but Ronald Zubar comes back into the squad after recovering from an ankle injury.

Team (from): Hahnemann, Foley, Van Damme, Jarvis, Jones, Ward, Fletcher, Ebanks-Blake, Doyle, Stearman, Mujangi Bia, Mouyokolo, Halford, Milijas, Elokobi, Hill, Hennessey, Hunt, Bent, Zubar.
