Wolves boss McCarthy explains leaving Kightly off 25-man squad
Wolves boss Mick McCarthy has left winger Michael Kightly out of his 25-man Premier League squad.
Kightly has suffered a minor setback in his recovery from problems with his patella tendons, and, as McCarthy explains, will continue his recovery with "no pressure" and the prospect of going out on loan to be ready for a possible squad return in January.
"We're just going to let Kights get on with it," the boss explained to the Wolves website. "He's still not quite ready to come back and there's no pressure on him - it will take as long as it takes.
"There's no time limit on it either.
"When he is fit, he won't have played since last November and it would be very difficult in that situation to go straight back into the Premier League.
"So when he is ready, we'll be able to discuss with him the possibility of going out on loan, which he can do before we have the chance to revise the squad in January."
