A blow for Ghislain Konan. The Ivorian left-back suffered a medial collateral ligament injury during a training session last week. Tests revealed a knee injury that will keep him out for around eight weeks.

A difficult start at Wolverhampton

Ghislain Konan missed Wolverhampton ’s 1-0 win over Watford on matchday 12 of the Championship. The 30-year-old defender was forced to withdraw because of his injury. Having joined on a free transfer in September from Gil Vicente, he has made two Championship appearances since arriving during the summer transfer window.
