Middlesbrough boss Rob Edwards has been stood down from their game against Birmingham on Saturday amid Wolves' interest in appointing him as their new manager.
Wolves had an approach to speak to Edwards rejected by Boro on Thursday, and he was locked in talks with members of the Championship club's hierarchy on Friday.
Edwards did not hold his regular pre-game news conference or oversee the team's final training session before the game with Birmingham.
And it has now emerged he will not take charge of the home match against the Blues.
Edwards signed a three-year contract to succeed Michael Carrick as Middlesbrough manager in June.
