Wolves boss Rob Edwards has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Manchester City at Etihad Stadium (kick-off 15:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
- Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Toti Gomes remain unavailable through hamstring injuries, but Bellegarde is back in training so Edwards is hopeful he could return next week.
- Tawanda Chirewa, who missed last weekend's draw with Newcastle due to illness, is expected to be involved.
- On Wolves rejecting Leeds' offer for Jorgen Strand Larsen: "That bid came in earlier this week. He's been great, trained really well and will be part of the squad."
- Edwards said the bid was far from what the club value the striker at and they are "not under any pressure to sell" anyone in this transfer window.
- More from Edwards on outgoings: "We want to try and be as strong as we can throughout the period so unless we feel it's the right thing for the club, then no one will go. No-one's been knocking on my door [to leave], no-one, they've all showed real desire and attitude to be here."
- He said if they bring any players in "then it is because they fit and they want to be here", rather than just buying good players.
- He said "there's a very good spirit" at the training ground and "it's not doom and gloom and all negative," despite being bottom of the league. Edwards added that this is really important for building on current momentum.
- On opponents Manchester City: "We will expect the best Manchester City. We are going up against the best manager, and they have world-class players in every position. They don't have many, but every team has weaknesses and we need to go into the game with a way to try and win it."
- Edwards said centre-back Yerson Mosquera "always bring his A-game and energy" and "his real zest for life" is welcomed and needed in the squad.
