Impact Ait-Nouri was a heavy doubt for Saturday's clash after suffering the calf injury against West Ham, but it appears his recovery is going well. The midfielder could be straight back on the pitch for Saturday's match. Ait-Nouri has recently taken a role in both attacking midfield and on the wing, and should continue to see chances further up the pitch if he can stay fit.

Impact Ait-Nouri will need to undergo some scans to determine the severity of the injury but obviously muscular issues can have major implications. The midfielder has done well in a variety of roles this season and would be a major loss if this proves to be a serious problem. Matheus Cunha came on to replace Ait-Nouri during the 3-2 loss to West Ham.

Impact Ait-Nouri was at the right place at the right time for one of Pablo Sarabia's free kicks, heading in an accurate pass for his second goal in three games. He also has an assist to go with his two goals across Wolverhampton's last five matchups.

Assists in win Ait-Nouri assisted once to go with two crosses (one target) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 win over Sheffield United.

Impact Ait-Nouri recorded his first assist of the season and his first since the 2021/22 campaign. He's started four of the last five games played, totaling eight crosses (two accurate), 12 tackles and five chances created in that span.

Expected to returm Ait-Nouri could be available for Sunday's clash with West Brom in the FA cup, the club announced.

Impact Ait-Nouri was part of the Algerian team that was eliminated from AFCON in the group stage and could be back as soon as Sunday. It was an awfully disappointing AFCON for the team but it's good news for Wolves to get Ait-Nouri back earlier than likely expected.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Called up to AFCON Ait-Nouri was called up for Algeria for AFCON and is departing for the tournament.

Impact Ait-Nouri will depart for AFCON, ruling him out for a match against Brighton on Jan. 22. It's possible he's back after just that single match, but if Algeria make a deep run Ait-Nouri could be out for multiple weeks more.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to bench Ait-Nouri (ankle) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Aston Villa.

Impact Ait-Nouri returns from an ankle injury which has kept him out of Wolves' past three matches. The fullback starts from the bench, but had started 12 of his 13 league appearances prior to the injury.

DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On course for return Ait-Nouri (ankle) is expected to return for Sunday's match against West Ham, manager Gary O'Neil, per the BBC. "Rayan Ait-Nouri is also on course to return after overcoming an ankl...

Impact Ait-Nouri is looking to make his return after a three-match absence, possibly making a return this weekend against West Ham. This will be a huge addition back into the squad for Wolves, as the winger started in all but one match on the left flank before encountering the knock. If he does play Sunday, expect him to fight for a nod in the starting XI, meaning Hugo Bueno may be sent back to the bench.

DECEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out to face Nottingham Forest Ait-Nouri (ankle) is not in the squad to face Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

Impact Ait-Nouri didn't train earlier in the week, so his absence is not surprising. It seems the ankle injury is not progressing as it should, meaning Hugo Bueno should continue to deputize at left wing-back until Ait-Nouri is ready to return.

DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Heavy doubt Saturday Ait-Nouri (ankle) is a heavy doubt for Saturday's clash with Nottingham Forest, according to manager Gary O'Neil."His ankle is still sore, he's not progressed as quickly as we'd ho...

Impact Ait-Nouri didn't train earlier in the week and is now a major doubt with the ankle injury not quite progressing. The full-back will be very unlikely to make his return, especially in the starting XI, though a bench appearance seems slightly more possible.

DECEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't be available against Burnley Ait-Nouri (ankle) won't be an option against Burnley on Tuesday, according to manager Gary O'Neil. "Rayan's doing well. Tomorrow will be too early but hope to have him available at...

Impact Ait-Nouri will be missing another match after being left out over the weekend against Arsenal, having yet to recover from an ankle injury. Manager Gary O'Neil did explain that the midfielder would hopefully return by the weekend, where he should start if healthy, only missing one match before the knock.

Out against Arsenal Ait-Nouri (ankle) is out for Saturday's trip to Arsenal, according to manager Gary O'Neil. But will hopefully "be able to play a part next week."

Impact Ait-Nouri rolled his ankle last time out and was forced off the pitch. The wing-back was replaced by Matt Doherty, who is likely to take over in the starting XI for Saturday's trip to Arsenal. The defender could return as soon as a Tuesday clash with Burnley or a Saturday match against Nottingham Forest.

DECEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Comes off holding ankle Ait-Nouri came off with an apparent ankle injury during Monday's clash with Fulham.

Impact Ait-Nouri was replaced by Matt Doherty early in the first half due to the ankle injury. It seemed to be an injury he caused himself so more likely than not it will be some sort of sprain. Depending on the severity and what scans reveal there's a large range of how long this type of injury could sideline Ait-Nouri.

Creates four chances versus Spurs Ait-Nouri had two shots (zero on goal), eight crosses (two accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Tottenham Hotspur. In addition, he was given a yellow card in...

Impact Ait-Nouri had his most productive match of the season Saturday as he set season-highs in chances created (four), crosses (eight) and corners (five). He also took two shots for the second straight match. While he has yet to record a goal contribution this season, his recent production suggests one could be on the horizon.

NOVEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Creates two chances Ait-Nouri created a pair of chances and shot once during Saturday's 2-1 win over Bournemouth.

Impact Ait-Nouri was a doubt after suffering a concussion before the international break but passed all checks and got straight back in the starting XI. The left-back made the most of a soft matchup and created a pair of chances, a new season-high. Ait-Nouri has been asked to step into the midfield more in recent matches and could see an uptick in his offensive production moving forward, though a Saturday clash with Newcastle is one of the toughest on the schedule.

OCTOBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starts Saturday Ait-Nouri (concussion) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Bournemouth.

Impact Ait-Nouri was pictured in training earlier this week, so it's not surprising to see him keeping his regular place in the XI. Even though his fantasy upside is not very high, it's worth noting he has started in all but one game in 2023/24.

OCTOBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pictured in training Ait-Nouri (concussion) was pictured in training Thursday ahead of Saturday's trip to Bournemouth.

Impact Ait-Nouri likely passed concussion protocol at some point over the break and is expected to remain in the starting XI for Saturday's match. He's started all but one league contest this season and while he's featured as a wing-back the last couple matches, that hasn't resulted in a massive uptick in numbers. He's on just two shots and four crosses for the season, which aren't helped by his usage, as he's gone more than 77 minutes just two times in eight games.

OCTOBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dropped from Algerian team Ait-Nouri was not allowed to travel for Algeria over the international break because of a concussion suffered against Aston Villa.

Impact Ait-Nouri will have two weeks to recover from a concussion over the international break and it's not believed it will keep him out upon return. The defender only made it 45 minutes in the draw against Villa and maybe more intriguing is that Wolves have changed formations the last couple matches, moving Ait-Nouri to more of a wing role. However, that hasn't resulted in a boost in numbers just yet, especially since either Hugo Bueno or Matt Doherty continue to sub on for him every match.

OCTOBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Forced off at halftime Ait-Nouri was forced off at halftime during Sunday's match against Aston Villa.

Impact Ait-Nouri picked up a head injury in the first half and was replaced by Matt Doherty at halftime. The wing-back has just under two weeks to recover ahead of Wolves' next match against Bournemouth.

OCTOBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recovered from fatigue Ait-Nouri (fatigue) is fully fit and available for Saturday's trip to Luton, according to manager Gary O'Neil. "'Hodgy' [Joe Hodge] will be back in and around it and has been train...

Impact Ait-Nouri was forced off during a 3-1 loss to Liverpool but it was due to some minor muscular fatigue. The full-back is fit once more and should be straight back on the pitch for Saturday's trip to Luton Town.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Injury deemed minor Ait-Nouri came off with muscle fatigue during Saturday's 3-1 loss to Liverpool, according to manager Gary O'Neil. "Rayan's injury was just muscle fatigue, really. I don't expect hi...

Impact Ait-Nouri was forced off in the 65th minute via injury though it appears the injury was simply fatigue and nothing more sinister. It's a good report for the left-back who has started four of five matches to begin the Premier League.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Two clearances in loss Ait-Nouri had two tackles (zero won), two clearances and one interception in Monday's 1-0 loss against Manchester United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 35th minute...

Impact Ait-Nouri had a decent performance against Manchester United Monday, getting the start at left back while totaling two tackles and two clearances. It was also his first start since Feb 11, which came as a surprise that the defender got the start over Hugo Bueno. He will have to continue to show consistency if he wants to keep his starting role for the rest of the season.
