Wolves' current formation has meant a place in the squad for Santiago Bueno was unavailable, and the Spanish defender leaves with the head coach's blessing.

"We have five centre-backs and we only need four because I only play with two in a back four," Cesar Peixoto confirmed. "We had to decide until the end if Krejci or Santi will go. Krejci stays, so Santi has to go, it's like that.

"Toti and Krejci are left-footed, Mosquera is injured and Nasser plays well, and both are right-footed. Santi doesn't go because he's a bad player, he's a very good player and we know that. We want to sell a player and the most valuable are Krejci or Santi.
