Wolves will be forced to play twice in the space of 48 hours after failing in their appeal to rearrange their Carabao Cup tie at Nottingham Forest.
The Molineux club had asked for the fixture to be switched after it was scheduled for August 24 - two days after their Premier League clash against Tottenham, managed by former Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo.
But Wolves' request to move the game back 24 hours was turned down due to the Twenty20 cricket meeting between Nottinghamshire Outlaws and Hampshire Hawks at Trent Bridge, which is a stone's throw from Forest's City Ground home.
