Davies can still play part at Wolves
Forgotten midfielder Mark Davies has been told he can still be a part of Wolves' promotion chase - if he proves his fitness at Leicester.
The boost for the former England under-19s captain comes from manager Mick McCarthy, who insists 'Sparky' remains part of his plans, despite being sent out on loan to the League One leaders.
Davies came off the bench to score the winner in last week's 2-1 win at Millwall that kept the leaders top, his second brief outing for the Foxes.
The 20-year-old midfielder is on loan at the Walkers Stadium until January 4 and McCarthy says it's "unlikely" Davies will be allowed to remain with Nigel Pearson's side.
"We've always got a recall option under the rules, but a fit Mark Davies is a player I would want around here to be used," said McCarthy.
"So hopefully he's benefitting from playing at Leicester where he can get games.
"It will do him good. Him dislodging the ones won't happen at the moment, but it might happen if he plays football. There's no chance if he doesn't play.
"He needs first team football and that's why he's gone to Leicester to play.
"I've got someone going to watch him today (against Peterborough).
"It's unlikely I will let him out for the season.
"He could stay at Leicester for 93 days, he could come back if they don't want him or he could go somewhere else for 93 days, the maximum under emergency loan.
"But consider 93 days from January 4 - we're talking until March and the season's nearly over."
The Molineux chief is still prepared to allow Darren Potter to leave, despite taking him off the transfer list.
"'Potts' has been available for transfer since the start of the season," he said.
"If someone wanted him on loan I'd let him go and I've had that discussion with him."
