Impact Gomes missed out last time with the sore hamstring but he should now be fully fit and available for Saturday's match. The midfielder is the cornerstone of the midfield and should be thrown straight back into the starting XI.

It may only be a minor issue in the end and he'll be back in the XI against Fulham, but if not, Thomas Doyle will likely remain in the XI until fully ready.

Sent off early Gomes was shown a straight red card in the first half of Friday's FA Cup clash with Wolves.
Impact Gomes was handed his marching orders just minutes into Friday's clash and he will now serve a three-match ban. While that ban will almost certainly be appealed it's hard to see it overturned, especially since the challenge saw Christian Norgaard forced off with an injury. Gomes will be suspended for three matches, ruling him out for a Jan. 22 trip to Brighton and a Feb. 1 clash with Manchester United.

Impact Gomes had to be taken off late into the match Saturday after feeling a slight pain in his hip, but the issue has only been described as a knock, according to manager Gary O'Neil. It does not seem that the midfielder will miss any time due to the problem, as he should be an option for their next match against Brighton on Jan. 22. He has started in all but two games this season, so the club will hope for the best from their playmaker and a short recovery time from a very minor knock.

Impact Gomes returned from a one-match ban and was straight back in the starting XI throughout Tuesday's win. The midfielder might not have had an entirely productive day but it's good to see the suspension didn't see his minutes limited.

Back from suspension Gomes completed his one-game suspension and is eligible to face Burnley on Tuesday.
Impact Gomes picked up his fifth yellow card of the season in the 3-2 loss against Fulham and missed out on the 2-1 defeat to Arsenal, but he should be an option to face Burnley at Molineux. Given the midfielder has started in all but one of his previous league appearances, there's a strong chance he will return to the XI against the Clarets.

Handed suspension Gomes picked up his fifth yellow card of season and will not be an option for Saturday's match against Arsenal.
Impact Gomes has retained his starting role for the team this season, making 11 starts in 12 appearances thus far.
