Paul Lambert wasn’t asked about Efe Ambrose in his post match conference after Wolves lost 2-0 at home to Sheffield Wednesday.
One Nigerian website claimed that the defender was heading to Molineux on trial but the story never reached the midlands.
Lambert did mention his side’s youthful central defenders needing to become more streetwise which is a shortcoming that could be put at Ambrose.
The Nigerian internationalist hasn’t played a first team or Development League match since August and is out of contract at the end of the season.
It seems unlikely that Celtic would allow someone who played in the 2014 World Cup to go out on trial with little heard about Ambrose.
After the home defeat Lambert told the local Evening and Star: “For how strong we were last week, this week individual errors cost us. And that’s against a really good side. They punished us.
“We started the game really well, Conor (Coady) has had a great chance and maybe should have hit the target.
“Then the penalty changes the course of the game. The ball should never have travelled 70 yards across and we should still have cleared it at the back post – I thought Kortney was favourite to clear it. There’s no debate on the penalty.
“For the second goal we actually have the ball and we lose it.
“So it’s individual errors. We’ve got two young 21-year-olds (Dominic Iorfa and Kortney Hause) in the back line who’ve played a lot of games but we need to be more streetwise than that.
“Confidence dropped for a spell. You can’t play football and make individual errors as we did.
“That ball should never have travelled 70 yards and then we can’t stop the cross. And we should have defended the back post better – so there’s three mistakes in one move.
“I’m surprised because last week we were really strong. But Sheffield Wednesday are a team that just missed out on the Premier League. That’s the difference. If you want to aspire to that, that’s who we’re going to have to compete with.”
Ross Wallace and Glenn Loovens were in the Sheffield Wednesday side who are in seventh place, one point short of a play off place.
Wolves are in third bottom place, ahead of Cardiff City on goal difference, on Thursday Wolves visit QPR.
Blackburn lifted themselves out of the bottom three with a surprise 1-0 win at Newcastle with ex-Celt Charlie Mulgre scoring the only goal of the game in the 75th minute.
