Overview

  • The Norway striker will not travel to St James' Park, with Pereira confirming he is not training and remains under medical care.
  • Wolves say the Achilles problem is more serious than initially thought, and no return date has been set as staff work day by day.
  • Strand Larsen returned early from international duty this week because of the injury after scoring 14 Premier League goals last season.
  • Newcastle had summer bids of about £50m and £55m rejected for the 25-year-old before turning to Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa.
  • His absence could hand a first outing to £24m signing Tolu Arokodare, with Wolves seeking their first league points after a disrupted international break.
