Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club

Wolves have signed Chelsea's England under-21 defender Michael Mancienne on a two-month loan. The 20-year-old centre back, who agreed the deal on Monday afternoon, will be with the club until 29 December. Mancienne has previously been on-loan with Wolves' Championship rivals Queens Park Rangers.

Wolves said they have been "unable to progress" a loan enquiry from MK Dons for Matt Murray as fellow goalkeeper Carl Ikeme has a slight back problem. Mick McCarthy told the club's official website: "He could be involved in the squad tomorrow (against Swansea). "But I wouldn't throw him in without having done some work as a unit beforehand. "I want us to stop leaking 14 goals in five games so maybe there has to be a shake-up or re-jig of affairs. Let's see if we can get a formula that works."

Mancienne could be set to feature or even start in tonights game against Swansea and all Wolves fans eyes will be on him to see if he is a future star of the game and whether he will be able to help Wolves in their promotion push this season.
