Wolves boss O'Neil confirms Lemina return

Wolves boss Gary O'Neil says Mario Lemina has rejoined the squad this week.

Lemina has had time off after the passing of his father.

Ahead of Tuesday's FA Cup replay against Brentford, O'Neil said: "Mario's back with the group today and it's good to see him. The lads are pleased to have him back. We have an important run coming up and it was important that Mario was able to take the time that he needed, but now it's really important that we have Mario the person back around the place and Mario the footballer back around the team.

“It'll be a huge lift for us. We need to see where he's at physically.

"He's missed a few weeks now, but I'm hopeful that he'll be involved again tomorrow, to get him back in the group, and see if we can get him fully back up to speed for the Brighton game."
