Available after illness Ait-Nouri is available for Sunday's match against Leicester City after missing the midweek contest with an illness.

Impact Ait-Nouri was replaced by youngster Hugo Bueno in Tuesday's loss, but it's expected the former will be back in the starting XI Sunday.

Four tackles versus Liverpool Ait-Nouri finished the season with three inaccurate crosses, three interceptions and four tackles (two won) in their 3-1 loss to Liverpool.

Impact Ait-Nouri didn't fill the stat sheet as he did several times during this campaign but made up for that with a much bigger contribution in the 55th minute. The full back was at the right place to head the ball home after the opposing defense failed to clear a free-kick cross from the right. This was the first goal of the season for Ait-Nouri, who will try to finish his season in style during next Sunday's visit to Liverpool.

MAY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sends in seven crosses in win Ait-Nouri created one chance, sent in seven crosses (two accurate) and was shown a yellow card during Thursday's 4-0 win over Watford.

Impact Ait-Nouri was back in the lineup after being an unused substitute during the previous two contests. And the wing-back made most of the opportunity, sending seven crosses into the opposition's box, his best mark in three months, and being involved in the play that led to his side's second goal. He'll try to keep it up during Sunday's visit to Everton.

MARCH 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Still taking corners Ait-Nouri has taken seven corners in the last five matches while also producing two shots and four chances created.

Impact Ait-Nouri continues to split sets for Wolves, though Joao Moutinho usually takes the majority of them when on the pitch. Ait-Nouri's numbers aren't as extravagant as earlier in the season, but he's still getting forward a ton and holding enough upside to be relevant in most matchups. The question is if he'll continue to take sets with Pedro Neto set to see more time.

FEBRUARY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Records assist in win Ait-Nouri assisted a goal and made two clearances in Saturday's 3-1 victory against Southampton. He also won two of two tackles in the match.

Impact Ait-Nouri made his first appearance in just over a month Saturday after recovering from an undisclosed injury, and he looked good in his return as he set up Adama Traore's stoppage-time goal against Southampton.

Makes bench Monday Ait-Nouri (undisclosed) is on the bench for Monday's match against Manchester United.

Impact Ait-Nouri is back in the squad Monday after missing the last two weeks, but he's on the bench, so he's healthy not fully fit or Fernando Marcal has retaken the job on the left wing. When healthy, Ait-Nouri was a quality fantasy option and was splitting set pieces for Wolves.

JANUARY 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss at least one match Ait-Nouri is still being assessed for his injury suffered Wednesday, but he'll miss Sunday's match against Chelsea, confirmed manager Bruno Lage.

Impact Wolves never give too much away with their injuries and this is another case with Ait-Nouri, as it's still unclear what his injury is, though reports have it as an adductor issue. The good news for Wolves is that Fernando Marcal is a quality wing-back and can fill in no matter how long Ait-Nouri is out.

DECEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Injured in warmups Ait-Nouri was injured in warmups and has been replaced in the starting XI Wednesday against Brighton by Fernando Marcal.

Impact This is a massive change for fantasy implications, as Ait-Nouri has been one of Wolverhampton's better players. In his place, Marcal is back in the XI, meaning Joao Moutinho and Daniel Podence will likely be on the majority of set pieces.

DECEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Starting versus Man City Ait-Nouri (knock) will get the nod in Saturday's game against Manchester City.

Impact Ait-Nouri left the last game a little earlier, but he shook off the knock quickly and will continue starting. He has posted six shots, 45 crosses and 31 tackles in nine appearances so far.

DECEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Should be good for Saturday Ait-Nouri (knock) wasn't mentioned by manager Bruno Lage ahead of Saturday's match against Manchester City.

Impact Ait-Nouri had to come off in the final minutes last weekend and unsurprisingly, it looks like he's ready to start again Saturday. He's had some nice performances this season, but playing away to Man City is unlikely to produce a ton of fantasy action.

Comes off injured against Liverpool Ait-Nouri was subbed out of Saturday's defeat against Liverpool in the 92nd minute after suffering an apparent injury. He made three clearances and won five of eight tackles in the...

Impact Wolves manager Bruno Lage confirmed Ait-Nouri's injury after Saturday's game but he wasn't sure of the extent quite yet.

DECEMBER 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sends in 10 crosses in draw Ait-Nouri had two off-target shots, sent in 10 crosses (two accurate) and made three tackles during Wednesday's scoreless draw against Burnley.

NOVEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Makes seven tackles in loss Ait-Nouri sent in five crosses (one accurate), made seven tackles (four won) and drew two fouls during Saturday's 2-0 loss against Crystal Palace.

Impact Ait-Nouri made his third consecutive start and was once again able to impact on both ends from the left flank, with team highs in both tackles and crosses. Fernando Marcal (calf) is still the first choice for the starting XI, but if he can't recover on time for Nov. 20 clash against West Ham Ait-Nouri showed that is more than ready to contribute.

NOVEMBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

First assist of season Ait-Nouri had an assist while crossing six times (two accurate) and creating two chances during Monday's 2-1 win over Everton.

Impact Ait-Nouri set up Max Kilman in the 28th minute assisting the opening goal of the match. The assist was the first of the season for the wide man while his six crosses and two chances created were both team-high totals in the win.

Strong in rare start Ait-Nouri made five tackles and three clearances during Saturday's one-all draw with Leeds.

Impact Ait-Nouri was busy defensively in his first start of the season, putting together a strong performance. The defender has been dealing with a concussion and fell out of the starting XI recently, but he has solid value when he plays. His next chance to start is Monday, against Everton.

OCTOBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Available against Newcastle Ait-Nouri (concussion) is available for Saturday's match against Newcastle, according to manager Bruno Lage.

Impact Ait-Nouri has been training and is available again after suffering a concussion a little more than a week ago. He's struggled to find playing time in league matches and that probably won't change Saturday unless Lage has a change of heart.

OCTOBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out with concussion Ait-Nouri suffered a concussion midweek and will be out at least seven days, manager Bruno Lage revealed at his press conference.

Impact Ait-Nouri has played just six minutes in league play, so his absence isn't a major blow to Wolves. He's still fighting for more playing time and for now, he remains the backup to Nelson Semedo.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up possible concussion Ait-Nouri was forced off in the second half of Wednesday's Cup match with a possible concussion.

Impact Ait-Nouri has played just six minutes in league play this season, so his possible absence won't change anything for Wolves, as long as Nelson Semedo is healthy. For now, it appears Ait-Nouri will stick to non-league play when available.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Staying with Wolves Ait-Nouri agreed to a five-year contract with Wolves that holds an option for a fifth season after making his loan from Angers permanently on Friday.

Impact Ait-Nouri made 16 starts in 21 EPL appearances last season and became a fixture in the lineup over the final two months. Because he was also able to boost his offensive production by the end of the season, Ait-Nouri could be able to do what Fernando Marcal and Jonny could not: stay healthy for a full campaign and put up solid numbers.
