Wolves boss Mick McCarthy says Matt Jarvis is recovering nicely from his hamstring injury, but is reluctant to put a date on the winger's return.

Jarvis, 22, has been out of action since Wolves' 3-0 defeat by Reading at the end of September.

"I wouldn't put a time on it," McCarthy told BBC WM. "We thought it would be three months at the time and we assume it will be that. "I speak to him everyday and he was really pleased with his rehab."

Jarvis had been a key player in Wolves' impressive start to the season, as the Molineux side won six of the first seven games Jarvis played in, and McCarthy is understandably looking forward to welcoming him back.

"He's just pushing it a bit further every day," he said. "He had a little setback recently but now he's fine and is back on the track."
