Striker Alexander Isek is expected to be fit for Wolves' home game against Newcastle tomorrow night.
The Sweden international missed Sunday's FA Cup after picking up a hamstring in last week's 2-0 EFL Cup win over Arsenal.
Isak has scored in seven consecutive Premier League games to propel Newcastle up to fifth in the table and head coach Eddie Howe is confident he will get his star player.
Howe said: “He will be eager to play. I didn't focus too much on that (scoring) run. I'd love to keep scoring Alex, even though I'm not very interested, and understand that individuals will care deeply about them. The most important thing for me is that the team is running well for him and I think he is a good player for the team. The two points are the same.
“Will he be there? He hasn't seen the train yet, but fingers crossed he (can). Of course we have to be careful because I tried to protect the loss to Arsenal and made sure we didn't lose him. He is a very valuable player for us. Fingers crossed he'll be fine and take his place in the team.”

Key Dan is also expected to participate.
Sven Botman Jacob Murphy and Joe Willock are also expected to return.
“We'll see them again today,” added Howe. “They (against Bromley) are different for real reasons but I don't expect anything big. So we need to solve small problems. Fingers crossed they'll be there or thereabouts.”
Barnes blew
There has been less positive news regarding winger Harvey Barnes, who is set to miss four weeks with a hamstring injury against League Two.
“Harvey will be missing for some time,” Howe said. “We don't think it's a serious injury but it will be enough to keep him out for a few weeks. I think it will take about a month. Don't hold on to it; But that's kind of an early assessment.
“He has a scan. As I said, It wouldn't be too bad, but it would be enough to put him off. a wound on his thigh; A muscle in the thigh. He crossed the ball near the end of the first half. I felt he could go on until half-time, but he couldn't come out in the second half and it showed at half-time.”
