Wolves boss Jackett confirms Agudelo trials extended

Wolves are extending the trial of USA striker Juan Agudelo.

The Birmingham Mail says Wolves boss Kenny Jackett is set to extend Agudelo's trial after the US forward picked up a calf injury.

"He hasn't trained for the last couple of days and we are hoping he can be back out tomorrow (Friday) but we're not sure. But he is still here, no decision has been made," said Jackett.

"We will have some sort of idea tomorrow (Friday) and see whether he can get back. We certainly wouldn't want to be summing it up whilst he is still injured anyway.

"Hopefully it is a short term injury and it can perhaps can carry on into next week - depending on the severity of the injury."

Jackett admits the longer the trial the more Wolves will benefit: "The chances of an immediate appearance anyway are quite slim, so I wouldn't think there is necessarily a rush. Although I'm sure both parties, particularly the player, will want a decision sooner rather than later. It is not something that we can turn over in a couple of days anyway."
