Wolves boss Bruno Lage insists Yerson Mosquera will bounce back.
The 20-year-old Colombian is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury sustained just nine minutes into September's Carabao Cup tie against Tottenham, his debut in English football following a £4.5million summer move from Nacional.
Mosquera, who underwent surgery, is making good progress in his recovery but not expected back training until January at the earliest.
Yet Lage insists the youngster remains upbeat, explaining: “He's recovering. In this year, no (he won't play) but next year he can start training.
“He's a fantastic boy. Every day he has a happy face and it's good for us to see."
