Wolves boss Lage hopes Moutinho can shake off calf injury

Wolves boss Bruno Lage hopes Joao Moutinho can shake off a calf injury.

Lage is not ruling out a return against Leicester this week and says the issue is not serious.

When asked when Moutinho will return, Lage said: “I really don't know.

“It was better but he wasn't ready to play. I don't think it's a big thing. Lets see this week if he is available to play against Leicester."

Meanwhile, Lage has hailed Max Kilman for rediscovering his form.

The defender has had a superb season so far but fell below his standards in recent games.

For victory against Tottenham, however, he was back to his best and Lage was delighted

“Against Arsenal, I can say now, it was a disaster," Lage said. “I said to him he is not hitting the targets like he did before and against Arsenal it was a very bad performance, but the kid has character. He had a strong performance, especially against these three strikers."
