Wolves striker Chris Iwelumo admits the first-half of this season has been his worst period in the game.

Iwelumo has suffered two serious foot injuries since preseason, but was back in the squad for Wolves' win at Tottenham.

The Scotland international said: "This has been the worst period I've had without football so it's just been good to get back out training with the boys.

"I'd been feeling good for the last couple of weeks but it was a case of waiting to have another scan and checking all was okay.

"A few specialists have been looking at the scans and X-ray results and were confident I could be back involved and now I've travelled with the team which is great.

"Hopefully I can play some part and be a positive for the team, although I thought they were very impressive last week.

"It's just a case of building from that."
