Wolves boosted for relegation fight as trio return

Wolves midfielders Karl Henry, Stephen Hunt and David Davis have all been declared fit for Saturday's crunch match at home to fellow relegation strugglers Bolton. Wolves haven't won a game since Henry picked up a hamstring injury at Fulham, and he has declared himself fit to start against the Trotters.

"I thought I'd be back a bit quicker and got it in my head I'd be back after 10 days - but that's probably because I've never had a hamstring injury before," said Henry.

"It was starting to feel better towards the end of last week and I had two good sessions on Friday and Saturday and a fitness test on Saturday morning.

"I got through everything, tested it to the 'max' and it felt alright. "I just maybe need to look after it through the week but I should be available for selection."

Wolves are in danger of being cut adrift at the bottom of the Premier League, and Henry admits it's vital they end a four-game losing streak against Bolton.

"We need to get a result to stay in touch with the pack because otherwise we'll be falling away," he said.

"Blackburn have had a couple of wins and Wigan and QPR have won games, and we haven't had that yet.

"We need to address that on Saturday."
