Pedro Neto is on the brink of handing Wolves manager Bruno Lage a selection boost.

The Daily Mail says Wolves hope Neto will return to action after a 10-month injury absence next month, with the Portuguese attacker now back at the club’s Compton headquarters.

Neto is training alone and has been pencilled in for a return in the coming weeks.

The 21-year-old was Wolves’ best player last term before suffering a serious knee injury during the 1-0 win at Fulham last April.

Meanwhile, Lage is keen to sign another centre back this month and has also brought back youngster Dion Sanderson from a loan spell at Birmingham, with Romain Saiss at the Africa Cup of Nations with Morocco.
