Wolves keeper faces lengthy absence after surgery

Championship Wolves keeper Aaron McCarey faces a lengthy spell out of action following an operation on his back, reports BBC Sport. "It's quite serious," said head coach Kenny Jackett. "I would estimate two to three months. Aaron has a disc in his back that's basically bulging and needed correction through surgery.

"It's something that's been ongoing - he's felt it pretty much all season."

McCarey's injury leaves 20-year-old Jon Flatt as the only cover for Wolves' first-choice keeper Carl Ikeme.
