The 20-year-old joined the Championship side last summer but lost his place in the starting XI when Lambert arrived in November.
Last night, Borthwick-Jackson returned to United and played for their under-23s against Sunderland.
But despite the lack of first-team minutes, his loan at the Molineux has yet to be terminated.
And Lambert feels the player is falling short of his expectations.

He told the Express and Star: “I think Cameron is falling short at the minute.
“He would have to show a lot more. He’s doing alright in training but there’s more he has to do.
