Strike duo will again be missing

Wolves must continue the next leg of their Premier League promotion push without 40-goal strikeforce Sylvan Ebanks-Blake and Chris Iwelumo.

Ebanks-Blake has been ruled out of Monday's trip to Derby, with the hamstring injury that has kept him out of the last two games.

Boss Mick McCarthy had hoped the Championship's 24-goal top scorer would be fit for the Pride Park trip, after missing the 3-0 win over Southampton.

But the 23-year-old hit-man will again be under treatment, as hopes for his return in next Saturday's home clash with QPR.

Iwelumo, who was injured in last Monday's defeat at Birmingham, is a major doubt for the last four games.
