Agbadou has emerged as a key player for Wolves since his winter arrival from Stade Reims for £16.6million, keeping two clean sheets in his seven appearances for the club so far. 

The Ivorian international was forced off just past the hour-mark during Wolves' 2-1 defeat against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday and is expected to be missing until around the middle of March, although Pereira was unable to pinpoint an exact timeframe. 

"No (he is not available). He will be out for some games, I believe. This is the information I got," boss Vitor Pereira confirmed.

In terms of his replacement, Santiago Bueno appears to be the likeliest candidate to pick up the mantle in defence.
