Wolves manager Gary O'Neil has been pleased by how Fabio Silva is performing in training.
The 21-year-old has been settling for a bench spot in the team over the past few weeks.
When he played recently against Sheffield United, he gave away a penalty that resulted in Wolves losing the game.
“I've spoken to Fabio a lot about what we need from him," O'Neil said, per the Express and Star.
“A consistency in the way he works, especially we need to see a real intensity all week, and he needs to be really consistent with his actions on the pitch as well.
“Being more secure with the ball, still being a goal threat – he's a young number nine playing in the hardest league in the world, so when I give him these things to improve, it's normal.
“He's been really willing in the last few weeks. He's worked harder than he was at the start of the season, he's really trying to force his way in.
“I was disappointed for him that he got his opportunity and it ended so sadly for him and he had to suffer that situation.
“But his recovery from that has been very, very good. We need to make sure we can get the best out of him as the group is quite small and we need to maximize absolutely everybody."
