Kortney Hause to miss further month of action

Wolverhampton Wanderers head coach Kenny Jackett has revealed that the club will not rush the return of Kortney Hause, who is suffering from a hamstring injury.

Hause has not played since the 3-1 defeat to Middlesbrough on October 24, and after the defender made a failed attempt to return to training late last month, Jackett has said that he will give the 20-year-old time to fully recover from the problem.

Jackett is quoted by the Express & Star as saying: "We should have Kortney back by January.

"We don't think he'll be available through December. Because it's a recurrence, the medical people will make sure he does get right, so he's not one that'll be back too quickly. The time estimation I would say is the turn of the year."

Wolves have just five fit defenders at their disposal ahead of their trip to Rotherham United on Saturday afternoon.
