Nouha Dicko to return "in three to four weeks"

Wolverhampton Wanderers confirm that striker Nouha Dicko will be back in action in "three to four weeks".

Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Nouha Dicko is expected to return to first-team action before the end of August after spending a year on the sidelines with a cruciate knee injury.

The 24-year-old returned to training in May and had hoped to be fit for the start of the new Championship season on August 6, but his recovery was hampered after he required surgery to remove a staple from his knee.

"Nouha had the staple removed three weeks ago and has progressed well," Wolves medic Phil Hayward told the club's website.

"He is now back into modified training and over the next few weeks now we will build him up gradually and increase his training intensity and loads to a point where he is available for selection again.

"We expect that to be in maybe three to four weeks time, and he will need some reserve team games to continue that gradual build-up before he is up to speed and ready for the first team."

Since moving to the Midlands side from Wigan Athletic in January 2014, Dicko has notched up 27 goals in 61 league appearances
