Wolves winger Bakary Sako is poised to rejoin the club's survival fight – as striker Sylvan Ebanks-Blake was ruled out for six months.

Ten-goal French wide man Sako has recovered well from the hamstring he ruptured against Bristol City on March 16.
And he could be rushed back for the last two games after he was expected to miss the rest of the campaign.
Manager Dean Saunders said: "He's running at three-quarter pace and if he can get fit by a week on Friday – the day before the Burnley game – we might get 10 days out of him.
"We will probably have to take the risk with him because of the situation we're in. If he comes on and smacks one in the top corner, it will be worth it."
But Ebanks-Blake faces more heartache to get over the complications in his ankle and broken leg.
Saunders said: "Sylvan is six months away from being fit, David Davis is out for three months and Dave Edwards will be another 12 weeks.
"Wayne Hennessey might be fit for pre-season and Carl Ikeme will probably be another six weeks.
"Razak Boukari will be out until September – he's had his operation and had a load of scar tissue taken out from between his calf muscles so, hopefully, that's cleared up."
With Ebanks-Blake out of contract in June and not expected to be fit until October, there is a longer-term decision to be made on whether the club offers him a deal to stay.
Saunders said: "We'll all have to sit down and have a meeting to see which way we're going to go with it, because he's in a difficult situation now with his contract being up."
The Wolves boss confirmed Tongo Doumbia will start tonight against Hull in place of Jamie O'Hara, whose three-match ban – which the club appealed – starts tonight.
Kevin Foley is expected to be recalled in place of Matt Doherty at right-back, after the youngster's form dipped in the last two games.
Meanwhile, Wolves and Huddersfield have been warned by the Football Association to their future conduct.
It comes after Saturday's flare-up, which saw O'Hara sent off for shoving Keith Southern.
