Henry has been Wolves' stand-in captain in the past

Wolves boss Mick McCarthy says Karl Henry is the ideal man to take over as captain from the injured Jody Craddock.

Craddock is set to miss the next three months with a broken metatarsal leaving Henry, who has led the side before, as the favourite to replace him.

"There's no reason why Karl won't be captain," McCarthy told the club's official website.

"He gets things together and tidies things up. He does those dirty jobs that people don't normally notice."
