Morgan sends jet for stars

Steve Morgan chartered his private jet to fly Wolves' international stars back in time to train today - 24 hours ahead of schedule.

The Molineux owner sent his jet to pick up Wayne Hennessey and Freddy Eastwood from Slovakia before stopping off in Prague to bring Kevin Foley and Andy Keogh back to Birmingham last night.

It is part of the club's plan to head off the international hangover they suffered the last time they came back from national team duty.

The international quartet can now train twice before Saturday's testing clash with Sheffield United - as opposed to the one training session they would have been able to squeeze in if they arrived back on the scheduled flight at 7pm tonight.Mick McCarthy has already said he may rest some of his internationals at Bramall Lane on Saturday.

While Wolves have had eight players away on national duty the Blades had just one - Northern Ireland winger Keith Gillespie.

"The idea came about because we were concerned about the number of internationals we had away this week," chief executive Jez Moxey said.

"After the last international break Mick only had one day to train with the players after they returned, and he asked whether there would be some way of us arranging for the players to be flown back on the night of the game rather than the next day.

"The players arrived back last night and they can now get two sessions in before a very important game against Sheffield United."
