Adam Le Fondre suffered an injury in training

Wolves are sweating on the fitness of loan striker Adam Le Fondre ahead of their clash with Sky Bet Championship leaders Brighton.
The on-loan Cardiff hitman suffered a kick to the shin in training and is a doubt for the Molineux showdown.
It would leave Wolves with just two fit strikers in Benik Afobe and 17-year-old Bright Enobakhare after Nouha Dicko's season-ending knee injury.
Danny Batth is close to a return from a broken foot but will not be considered against the Seagulls.
Brighton manager Chris Hughton again has a full-strength squad from which to choose.
Kazenga Lua Lua has returned to contention after serving a one-match ban while Brighton defeated Rotherham 2-1 on Tuesday.
Their victory means Hughton is expected to retain the same team.
Elvis Manu, who featured on the bench against Rotherham, is likely to remain a substitute on Saturday but could come on for his club debut.
Sky Bet preview:
Wolves are the 13/10 favourites with Sky Bet for victory at home to Brighton on Saturday afternoon. The visiting Seagulls have been priced up at 21/10 and the draw is available at 9/4. Wolves have won both of their last two matches at Molineux 2-1 and you can get 17/2 with Sky Bet for Kenny Jackett's men to win by that scoreline once again. You can also get 3/1 with the League sponsor for Saturday's game to contain exactly three goals. The unbeaten Seagulls have a great recent record against Wolves losing only three of their last 24 fixtures. Both matches last season ended in 1-1 draws and it's 9/2 for that trend to continue. Sky Sports Football League pundit Ian Holloway is predicting a 1-0 win for the hosts at odds of 11/2.
