Wolves vs Shrewsbury Town - Diogo Jota and Ruben Vinagre missing for Wolves

Posted Tuesday, February 05, 2019 by PA

Wolves will be without Diogo Jota and Ruben Vinagre for their FA Cup fourth-round replay against League One neighbours Shrewsbury.

Jota and Vinagre will miss out through injury and illness respectively. Like Jota, Ruben Neves is also nursing a knock following the Premier League win at Everton on Saturday but could still feature against the Shrews.

Wanderers boss Nuno Espirito Santo has said that teenager Niall Ennis will replace Jota in the squad, while fellow youngster Ryan Giles could also be involved.

Shrewsbury captain Mat Sadler will miss the tie through suspension.

The defender received his second yellow card of the competition during the first tie at New Meadow.

Sadler’s absence is one of many for Town boss Sam Ricketts on Tuesday night. Recent signings Scott Golbourne, Ro-Shaun Williams, Jonathan Mitchell, Tyrese Campbell and Stefan Payne are all ineligible as they were not registered for the initial tie. On-loan forward Sam Smith is cup-tied.

Midfielder Dave Edwards is hoping to recover from a groin injury in time to feature against the club where he spent nine years and he will be assessed. However, left-back Ryan Haynes (ankle) and winger Alex Gilliead are fit again.
