Wolves vs Nottingham Forest - Goalkeeper Emi Martinez remains sidelined for Wolves

Emi Martinez remains out for Wolves as they prepare to host Nottingham Forest at Molineux.

The on-loan Arsenal goalkeeper's thigh problem means he may not return until the New Year and Carl Ikeme will continue to deputise.

Defender Kortney Hause is struggling with a hamstring injury which has kept him out since October.

Benik Afobe is pushing for a return to the starting XI after being dropped for the win at Rotherham last week.

Jack Hobbs comes back into the reckoning for Forest after suspension.

Hobbs could struggle to regain his place in the team, though, as the Reds, with Michael Mancienne recalled in central defence to partner Matt Mills, keeping a clean sheet in his absence against Fulham.

Dougie Freedman could name an unchanged team after that 3-0 win over the Cottagers but he has the likes of Liam Trotter, who has extended his loan from Bolton, Jonathan Williams, Dexter Blackstock and Robert Tesche available should he wish to tweak things.

Forward Jamie Ward has been absent recently with a stiff back and will be assessed while defender Kyle Ebecilio is being eased back after a hamstring problem.
