(Reuters) - Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Nuno Espirito Santo said a decision about whether Adama Traore will need surgery for a shoulder injury is unlikely to be taken until the end of the campaign as the striker can play through the pain barrier.

Although the 24-year-old Spaniard dislocated his left shoulder for the fourth time this season early in Wednesday's match with Sheffield United, he played for 79 minutes and the team went on to win 1-0.
