Traores hamstring issue is not thought to be serious, so I imagine he would be available for selection come the start of the season, if not sold before. However, with that issue he wouldn't pass a medical at the moment anyway but still may be sold by the end of the window.
Given that he has no intention of signing a new contract should Lage use him as a replacement for Chiquinho until he's sold, play him for the season and write off his value, or let him rot and use this new kid from Chile who we are supposed to be signing, if he's remotely up to it. If neither do we loan or buy a replacement.

{Ed001's Note - he could still pass a medical, unless there was a more serious underlying issue causing it.}

Although I’m not suggesting lies are afoot (that’s a monopoly of our current government), could it be possible that Traore has returned to Barcelona for a few days to clear his head and have a think about his way forward (being relatively close to home at the minute)?
Maybe something has been put to him by the club and he’s been asked to respond?

Hi Craigwolf welcome to Wolves Rumours. It may well be he was on a lighter training regime due to this hamstring issue. Interestingly Nathan Collins has commented how hard the training is at Wolves.

Why would he not pass a medical? A medical is a risk assessment. You can sign an injured player if he hasn't got a history of being on the sidelines. People imagine players undergoing a medical on a treadmill with wires hanging off them. A player of Adama's fitness and low injury record is going to be very low risk, even if he was going to be paid 250 grand a week.

I do agree however, that we should keep him and write off any fee that we could get for him.

Surely a medical involves some physical testing and examination. How would a risk assessment tell you that a player had an unknown heart condition or was even match fit? Why do players travel to the buying club to do a medical if there's no testing?
I know injured players get signed but in this case they must be unsure as to the extent/cause of the problem hence the need for a scan. I just can't see anyone buying him without knowing all the facts.

{Ed001's Note - they do a scan at a medical, just in case there is damage that has not been noticed. It really depends on the club as to what tests are done and they are often tailored if it is known a player is carrying a problem. They will also get the player's medical history to check out. But it is caveat emptor.}
