Cesar Peixoto: “I want two players per position to fight”. Wolves head coach on the transfer ins and outs

A lot can change in a week. The arrival of Jordan James has provided another boost to Wolves’ promotion hopes, but injuries to Yerson Mosquera and Kieran Trippier have tempered that progress, leaving Cesar Peixoto with fresh selection dilemmas to contend with ahead of the trip to Deepdale.

“Jose Sa is going to play tomorrow,” Peixoto said. “We accepted the offer for Bentley and wish him the best of luck.
