Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo says he is “confident” the club will make January signings to boost the first-team squad after Ruben Vinagre became the latest player to suffer an injury.

Nuno says it is a “big blow” to lose Vinagre, who picked up a hamstring strain against Manchester United on Wednesday and will have a scan today to assess the extent of the problem.

“The model is clear. When something happens to our squad, we look at our back-ups," said Nuno. "If we have the solution there, we take it. If not we go to the transfer market and that’s why we are working on it.

“I’m confident that hopefully I will see something soon. We need it and we are going to bring in players for sure, players that can bring new solutions.”
