Wolves striker Chris Iwelumo will miss the home clash with Arsenal on Saturday after suffering a recurrence of a metatarsal problem in his top-flight debut against Stoke.

However, boss Mick McCarthy has confirmed last season's top scorer Sylvan Ebanks-Blake will return to the starting line-up.

Blake was dropped for the 2-2 draw at the Britannia Stadium last week despite scoring his first Premier League goal against Aston Villa two weeks ago.

Kieran Gibbs and Samir Nasri are expected to keep their places in the Arsenal side at Molineux with Gael Clichy and Nicklas Bendtner still out.

The Gunners could well stick with the side that so impressively defeated AZ Alkmaar 4-1 in the Champions League in midweek.

Armand Traore and Carlos Vela are closing on match fitness but will not be included along with fellow injury victims Denilson and Theo Walcott.
