Wolves have recalled Morgan Gibbs-White from his loan at Swansea.

The midfielder will now compete for a place in Nuno Espirito Santo's injury-hit squad and is eligible for Friday's FA Cup visit of Crystal Palace.

Gibbs-White made six appearances for the Sky Bet Championship Swans, scoring once, after battling a foot injury while in Wales.

"The youngster impressed during the first half of the campaign with the Championship side and now re-joins Nuno Espirito Santo's first-team squad at Compton Park," a Wolves statement read.

"The Wolves academy graduate scored once and assisted another during an unbeaten opening four matches for the Swans, before injury disrupted his time in Wales.
