Wolves midfielder Frimpong: I'm okay

Wolves midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong says he's okay after a clash with Aston Villa captain Stiliyan Petrov in yesterday's derby defeat.

On-loan Arsenal midfielder Frimpong is to have a further assessment of the eye injury suffered during an accidental kick to the head from Petrov.

Frimpong was stretchered off and went to hospital, with an initial examination revealing no head or spinal problems but swelling around the eye.

He returned to the ground and said: "I can't remember too much about it to be honest. I remember heading the ball and, from what I heard, I then got a kick in the face.

"We'll just have to give it a couple of days and wait for it to settle down."
