Full-back David Wright has put himself forward for the role of skipper when the Blues travel to Wolves on Tuesday. Team captain Gareth McAuley is suspended for one game, while club captain Richard Naylor left for Leeds during the transfer window.

Wright, who wore the armband on a number of occasions in pre-season, says he would be proud to captain the side at Molineux: "It would be an honour to lead out this great football club.

"I have done it in pre-season games, but never in a competitive fixture. It is up to the manager who takes over from Gareth for the Wolves game, but I would be delighted to get the nod.”
