Wolves hand teenage defender Saheed Olagunju debut at Sheffield Wednesday | OneFootball

According to ExpressAndStar.com, Wolves head coach Cesar Peixoto has handed a professional debut to teenager Saheed Olagunju for Tuesday’s Carabao Cup second round tie at Sheffield Wednesday.

The 19-year-old, who joined from Chelsea two years ago, partners Nasser Djiga in central defence, with Peixoto making eight changes from the weekend’s 3-1 win at Preston.

Djiga keeps his place along with Rodrigo Gomes and Jose Sa, with the goalkeeper starting again.

Midfielder Jordan James comes in for his first start since arriving on loan from Rennes. Pedro Lima is handed a rare start at right-back.

Wolves are aiming to make it three wins from four to start the season. It is their first visit to Hillsborough since a 2-0 victory at the same stage of the Carabao Cup nine years ago.
