Wright is struggling to shake-off the Achilles injury that ruled him out of the 1-1 draw with Arsenal at Villa Park last week.

"Towards the end of this week I should be training again but it's anybody's guess if I get back in," Wright told the clubs official website.

"Hopefully I'll get back in but whether I play again is solely down to the manager.

"I had to jump and chest a ball in training and when I landed I jarred my Achilles tendon. It's nothing too serious but it was a niggle for last weekend.”
