Pablo Sarabia - Suffers calf injury Sarabia is dealing with a tight calf, manager Gary O'Neil stated in his post-match presser following the win over Southampton on Saturday. "Tight calf forced him off," he said.

Impact Sarabia left Saturday's win over the Saints right after netting the first goal of the match due to a tight calf. It's uncertain if the injury will keep him sidelined for an extended stretch, but the winger will have approximately two weeks to recover before the Wolves take on Fulham on Nov. 23 after the international break.

Sam Johnstone - Back from illness Johnstone missed out against Crystal Palace due to illness, Wolves announced.

Impact Johnstone has reportedly been fit and then missed the last two matches, the first with a groin issue and the second with an illness. There's already a goalkeeping headache here as Jose Sa, the long-time starter has played while Johnstone is out. It seems Johnstone should be the starting option when fit, though this situation has been murky to say the least in recent weeks due to injury and form.

Jose Sa - Concedes twice in draw Sa made four saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace.

Impact Sa made another start with Sam Johnstone still sidelined with an injury. He allowed two goals while making four saves. He did a poor job on the first goal as he failed to clear a cross and his effort resulted in Trevoh Chalobah shooting into an empty net. He'll likely return to the bench for the next contest.

Mario Lemina - Finds bench role Lemina (calf) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Crystal Palace.

Impact Lemina is back with the team after leaving their last match early, with the midfielder earning a spot on the bench. He has been a regular starter, so he will look to get some time to test his legs before returning to his spot in the starting XI next contest.

Sam Johnstone - Not ready yet Johnstone (groin) is out for Saturday's match against Crystal Palace.

Impact Johnstone was expected to be back on the team sheet Saturday but instead has missed out again, spending his third straight match on the sidelines. However, with his recent rise in health, he should be expected to return next game. The big question will be if he sees the start or if Jose Sa will continue in net.

Impact Johnstone has now trained fully for two weeks in a row. The goalkeeper is expected to be fully fit, and now leaves manager Gary O'Neil with a significant choice to make.

Mario Lemina - Avoided major injury Lemina (calf) avoided a major injury and could return for Saturday's clash with Crystal Palace, Wolves announced.

Impact Lemina managed to avoid a serious injury concern and should be back for Saturday's match. The captain is a major piece of the midfield and would have been hard to replace if ruled out Saturday. Coming off a calf issue there's a chance his minutes are limited Saturday, even if he's deemed fit to start.

Impact Lemina looks to only be dealing with minor issues after his early exit Saturday, with the club announcing he picked up calf issues. This is great news for the club, as he has not yet been ruled out for their next match, likely being a late decision for that contest. That said, he will need to train with the group this week to be an option to face Crystal Palace on Saturday.
