Picks up muscle injury Traore (hamstring) is questionable ahead of Saturday's match against Crystal Palace.

Impact Traore will be a game-time decision for Saturday's match after picking up a muscle injury to his hamstring in a friendly. There hasn't been a whole lot more released on the injury, but it shouldn't affect much for Fulham, as he has only registered 32 minutes off the bench all year. However, he will hope to avoid a long-term injury as he tries to break into the starting lineup.

Scores twice Traore scored twice and assisted once in 34 appearances (12 starts) this past season.

Impact Traore had a bad season and but still recorded 2 more goal involvements than the last Premier League season. He has lost a bit of his pace but has still managed to complete an average of 1.5 dribbles per game. He was also booked twice. He is a free agent as of now and his future remains uncertain.

Game winner versus Spurs Traore scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Tottenham.

Impact Traore was in the right place at the right time to collect a rebound and steer home a volley following a Raul Jimenez shot on goal during the 81st minute. The lone tally was the difference in the game, as the speedy winger made the most of his appearance as a second half substitute.

Places shot-on-target in loss Traore took a shot-on-target and placed six crosses (two accurate) in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth.

Impact Traore was the most dangerous player on the pitch on Saturday. He was fast, physical and the natural target for Wolves midfielders to seek out. His relatively low fantasy score did not do justice to his performance. He was subbed after 76. The Spaniard is not a regular starter (eight starts from 20 appearances) and has contributed a goal and an assist.

Assists off bench Traore assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-0 victory over Liverpool.

Impact Traore came off the bench for the second half Saturday and got on the scoresheet with his first assist. The winger has fallen to a more minimal role in 2022/23, but still has some upside when on the pitch. That said he is right around on pace for five goal contributions, right in line with his recent seasons.

Contained in defeat Traore took one shot (zero on target) and sent in three crosses (zero accurate) during Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Arsenal.

Impact Traore started up top for Wolves with Goncalo Guedes but was largely bottled up during a match Arsenal controlled the narrative throughout. His three crosses were second-most on a rather timid, defensive Wolverhampton squad. He played the full 90.

Opens account in start Traore scored one goal on one shot on target and added one chance created on one inaccurate cross during Tuesday's 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace.

Impact After coming off the bench in his squad's first five league matches, Traore has now been a key part of the starting XI for the past three. He took full advantage of the opportunity Tuesday, heading a Hugo Bueno cross into the back of the net to open the scoring in this contest. Unfortunately, the one goal cushion wasn't enough for Wolves, and Traore was replaced for a fresh set of legs during the 58th. The speedy winger can be a decent fantasy option provided he continues making the lineup with regularity.

Comes off bench in draw Traore logged 11 minutes off the bench during Saturday's scoreless draw with Fulham.

Impact Traore had dealt with a hamstring injury that prevented him from playing in the opener against Leeds United and starting in this game. Now that he's closer to full fitness, look for Traore to make a major impact with his speed but consistent appearances are hard given his notorious lack of attacking efficiency.

AUGUST 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not ready to return Traore (hamstring) won't be in the squad versus Fulham on Saturday as he continues to work his way back to full fitness.

Impact Traore started 10 of his 20 outings for the club last season in which he generated 39 crosses (nine accurate), one goal on 23 shots (five on target) and 18 chances created. Traore may have to settle for a spot on the bench even once cleared to play, especially after Raul Jimenez (knee) is deemed fit.

AUGUST 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out for opener Traore (hamstring) is set to miss Saturday's match against Leeds, according to manager Bruno Lage.

Impact Traore doesn't appear to be ready in his recovery from a strained hamstring picked up in July. Jonny will help bolster the right flank as long as Traore isn't able to play.

AUGUST 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with hamstring injury Traore has suffered a "small hamstring injury" but is already "progressing well", according to team Doctor Rob Chakraverty.

Impact Traore has enough time to recover before the season begins Aug 6 against Leeds United if he stays on this reported schedule, though he may not be fit to play a full 90 by then. As he seldom plays for a full match, this isn't the biggest problem but is certainly worth tracking for a club that's struggled to score goals consistently.

Returns from loan Traore's loan with Barcelona has ended and he is now returning to Wolverhampton, the club announced Friday.

Impact Traore finished his six-month stint in Barcelona with four assists across 17 appearances (nine starts) in La Liga and the Europa League combined, but most of that production came at the beginning of his stay there and he tailed off after February. The 26-year-old now returns to Wolves, where there doesn't seem to be an obvious place for him in their 3-4-2-1 formation.

Takes shot in loss Traore took a shot and created a chance in Sunday's 2-0 defeat against Villarreal. He also made a clearance and an interception in the match.

Impact Traore was active but he also played an embarrassing part in one of Villarreal's goals on Sunday with a failed clearance. Although he started his loan-stint in Barcelona brightly with four assists in his first four starts in all competitions, he has been very quiet since February and looks set to return to Wolves in the summer.

Assists yet again Traore provided one assist during Sunday's two-all draw with Espanyol.

Impact Traore is making himself a cult hero in Barcelona as he has now assisted twice in his first two games with Barcelona.

Provides assist in Barca return Traore provided an assist, had one off-target shot, created one chance, sent in two crosses (one accurate) and made two interception during Sunday's 4-2 win over Atletico Madrid.

Impact Traore played for the first time since returning to Barcelona on loan from Wolverhampton. And the winger already had his fingerprints on a huge win, assisting Gavi for his side's second goal with a great cross from the right flank.

Loaned to Barcelona Traore has joined Barcelona on loan for the remainder of the season with an option to make it permanent away from Wolverhampton.

Impact This move had been rumored for some time and now it's confirmed late in the January window. It's a wonder what Traore will provide to Barcelona having started just 10 matches for a struggling Wolves attack this season. At the least, he'll provide a spark off the bench in La Liga.

Scores goal against Southampton Traore subbed into Saturday's match against Southampton in the 78th minute, and he scored a goal in the 3-1 victory.

Impact Traore finally scored his first Premier League goal of the season, clinching Saturday's result for his side in stoppage time. He has started just three times since October as Daniel Podence and Hwang Hee-Chan have emerged as the preferred options on the wings, but maybe this appearance can kickstart a better run of form for the Spaniard.

Takes four shots in draw Traore had four off-target shots, created two chances, sent in six crosses (one accurate) and drew one foul during Wednesday's scoreless draw against Burnley.

Impact Traore was one of the best performers here, being involved in most dangerous plays and almost scoring what would've been the opening goal of the match during the first half, making an amazing run on a fastbreak before hitting the post with a powerful right-footed shot. Despite his strong play, the winger is yet to score or assist this season. Up next for him is Saturday's home match against Liverpool.

Creates chance in draw Traore created one chance during Saturday's one-all draw with Leeds.
