Diogo Jota has been ruled out of Wolverhampton Wanderers’ FA Cup tie with Manchester United at Molineux.

The Portuguese attacker suffered an injury after coming on as a substitute against Watford on New Year’s Day and has been sent for scans.

Jota, 23, has scored nine goals in 31 appearances this season to help Wolves climb the Premier League table and reach the knock-out stages of the Europa League.

Asked for an injury update ahead of the meeting with United, Nuno replied: “It’s not good.

“Unfortunately Diogo is also not available. The red card from (Christian) Kabasele, had no intention (to hurt Jota) at all, but there was a strong impact. He’s not available.

“He’s already been for the MRI (scan) but it’s not good.”

Wolves will also be without Willy Boly and Morgan Gibbs-White due to injury. Boly is recovering well from a fractured fibula and is now back out on the grass, while Gibbs-White is still struggling with a back problem.
