    Wolverhampton Wanderers goalkeeper Jose Sa is expected to be in the side for their game against Preston North End on Saturday (15:00 BST).

    The Portugal international, who has made 170 appearances for the club since signing in 2021, did not feature in either their opening day draw with Blackburn Rovers or their EFL Cup victory over Port Vale.

    Dan Bentley had been favoured, however, the Englishman has since joined Coventry City, while fellow keeper Sam Johnstone is recovering from a shoulder injury.

    Though boss Cesar Peixoto is expected to bring in a new goalkeeper before the end of the transfer window.

    "Sa came later from the World Cup, Sam has a long injury and we need to find one solution more to the goalkeeper [situation]," he told BBC Radio WM.

    The game against Preston could also see a debut for new signing Jordan James.

    The midfielder joined on loan on Thursday and his experience with Leicester City last season could mean he has a quick introduction to the side.

    "I think it's very important [with James' experience] because the adaptation to the Championship is fast," Peixoto said.

    "He's a player who wants to improve and help us to a good season."
