Martinez set for Wolves debut

Emiliano Martinez should make his Wolves debut against Newport if the paperwork for his loan move from Arsenal is completed in time.

The goalkeeper will come in as back-up for Carl Ikeme but Kenny Jackett has confirmed he is set to start the Capital One Cup tie.

Head coach Jackett has said he will make changes from the 2-1 win over Blackburn at the weekend.

Adam Le Fondre could make his full debut after being a late substitute at Ewood Park following his loan move from Cardiff.

Newport manager Terry Butcher's squad is down to the bare bones for the first-round tie.

Winger Lenell John-Lewis sustained a hamstring injury during Saturday's 3-0 defeat by Cambridge in their League Two opener, while midfielder Yan Klukowski suffered a dead leg.

Defender Kevin Feely sustained a torn thigh muscle and is also a big doubt for the Molineux clash.

Winger Alex Rodman could feature after being described as "not too bad" by Butcher.
