Wolverhampton Wanderers receive boost over Diogo Jota?

Wolverhampton Wanderers have reportedly been given a boost regarding the fitness of forward Diogo Jota.

On Tuesday night, Jota hobbled off during the first half of the Championship fixture with Reading after suffering a knock to his ankle.

After the game, the Portuguese attacker took to social media to show his badly swollen ankle - which was also cut - but according to the Express & Star, the injury is not as bad as first feared.

Jota is unlikely to be in contention for the visit of Burton Albion on Saturday afternoon, but the 21-year-old may recover in time for the second-tier games after the international break.

Since moving to Molineux on loan from Atletico Madrid, Jota has contributed 13 goals and five assists in 37 Championship appearances.
