MAGNUS Karlsson will be back in Wolverhampton''s team for the home meeting with Belle Vue on Monday - after serving a one-match club ban.

Karlsson, younger brother of skipper Peter, has held further talks with Parrys International Wolves owner Chris Van Straaten after missing the recent win at Oxford due to a Swedish League fixture.

The decision was an agonising one for Karlsson as it clearly left a bad taste in the mouth of his British employers.

Van Straaten said: ''Magnus returns on Monday and will also be in the team at Coventry the following night.

''Beyond that I''m not prepared to say anything more on the matter at this stage.''

SKIPPER IN FITNESS FIGHT
WOLVERHAMPTON skipper Peter Karlsson is having intensive treatment on a knee injury in a bid to be fit for Monday''s mouthwatering clash with Belle Vue at Monmore.

Karlsson, who also suffered a hand injury in a Swedish league meeting this week, has vowed to do all he can to lead the Parrys International Wolves into action.

Club owner Chris Van Straaten said: ''Peter will liase with the club on Sunday to make a final decision on whether to race on Monday.

''The knee is the main problem, he tells me his hand isn''t troubling him and we''ll just have to see what the weekend brings.''

FIXTURE UPDATE
