Pablo Sarabia - Remains out with calf problem Sarabia (calf) is out for Sunday's game at Leicester City, manager Vitor Pereira told media Friday. "It's not possible for him (for him to play) with his calf."

Impact Sarabia will miss a fourth straight due to a calf injury, and he hasn't featured for the Wolves since Nov. 9, when he scored a goal in a 2-0 win over Southampton. His next chance to suit up will come against Manchester United on Boxing Day, but it's uncertain if he'll be able to recover on a quick turnaround.

However, he has not yet been banned, leaving him as an option to face the Foxes. This will be something to monitor, as the FA could make a quick statement to rule him out ahead of the match.
