Wolves manager Bruno Lage has conducted his pre-match press conference ahead of the clash with West Ham at Molineux on Saturday.
Lage said that Marcal and Bruno Jordao have returned to training ahead of the visit of David Moyes’ men.
Marcal was an ever-present in the side before his injury but Lage has said Rayan Ait-Nouri will keep his place in the team.
Jordao was a longer term absentee but he could be involved from the bench on Saturday.
Ait-Nouri has been fantastic since he came into the team and deserves to keep his place.
He offers Wolves more pace and thrust from left wing-back and has been solid defensively.
Marcal’s defending came under some scrutiny when he was playing, and now he has to work hard to get back in.
That means that there may well not be too many changes to Lage’s side for the game, as has been the norm this season so far.
Lage needs a reaction from his players in this game, because last time around, the performance was timid and nowhere near good enough.
