Wolves legend Steve Bull urged Nuno Espirito Santo to bring Ivan Cavaleiro back into the starting line-up for the game against Derby County tomorrow night, when speaking exclusively to the Express & Star.

The Black Country outfit have been superb this season, and currently sit comfortably at the top of the Championship table, nine points clear of second placed Cardiff City.

Cavaleiro, 24, has been a real asset for Wolves since making his £7 million switch from Monaco in the summer of 2016, racking up 14 goals and 18 assists in 75 outings thus far.

The 44-year-old chose to leave the Portuguese out of the starting XI for their clash with Cardiff on Friday night, however.

Bull, who scored 306 goals for Wolves, urged Nuno to bring Cavaleiro back into the fold for tomorrow night’s hugely important clash with the Rams, when speaking exclusively to the Express & Star:

“I would bring Cavaleiro back in on one side, bring him back in and say ‘come on then give us the best 90 minutes you’ve got’.”

The 24-year-old has only missed one Championship match all season long for Wolves, and has racked up an impressive nine goals and 12 assists in the process.

Having him back involved in the starting line-up tomorrow night could provide them with the impetus they need to chalk up another three points in their ongoing quest for promotion back to the top flight.
