Traore faces spell on sidelines

Wolves midfielder Boubacar Traore faces a period on the sidelines after picking up an injury during the week.

The Mali international was withdrawn during the first half of Wednesday’s Carabao Cup victory over Burnley and the extent of his injury has now been confirmed by the club’s medical department.

Head of high performance Phil Hayward said: “Boubacar suffered an injury to his left knee during the match on Wednesday night.

“The scans have shown damage to the lateral meniscus which will require surgery. This will take place in the coming week.

“It is difficult to predict the exact timescales at this stage, and we will know more once Boubacar has surgery.”
