Matheus Cunha - Seen on grass Cunha (hamstring) was seen on the grass with the ball ahead of Saturday's cup clash with Coventry.

Impact Cunha is not far along from returning after missing the last four matches with a hamstring injury. He is on the right track to be an option Saturday as he begins to train with the ball. Pablo Sarabia has getting the start in the attacking midfield in his absence and could continue to start if Cunha is not ready to return.

Nelson Semedo - Sends in three crosses in win Semedo registered one shot (zero on goal) and three crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Fulham. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 45th minute.

Impact Semedo had a good all-around outing and was one of three players leading the Wolves in clearances. The right-back also sent in the second-most crosses for his side. He did receive his seventh yellow card in the season as well, though.

Joao Gomes - Makes three tackles in return Gomes generated three tackles (one won), three clearances and two interceptions in Saturday's 2-1 win versus Fulham.

Impact Gomes was back in the starting XI after missing Wolverhampton's previous match with a hamstring issue. The midfielder led his side in both tackles and clearances in his return. He's been a regular starter most of the campaign.

Toti Gomes - Assists as substitute Toti Gomes assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Fulham.

Impact Gomes subbed on during halftime and assisted Rayan Ait-Nouri's opener in the 52nd minute with his third assist in the season. The centerback logged 21 starts in a row before coming off the bench against Fulham. He led the Wolves in clearances despite his limited time in the pitch.

Rayan Ait-Nouri - Scores opener versus Fulham Ait-Nouri scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Fulham.

Impact Ait-Nouri scored the opener in the 52nd minute with his first goal in the season. The midfielder played as a left-back again, something he did often in the beginning of the campaign. He logged his sixth start in a row.

Jose Sa - Makes five saves in win Sa had five saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 win against Fulham.

Impact Sa was subbed off during halftime against Newcastle, but was cleared to play and helped the Wolves with his second-most saves in the season. The goalkeeper has only three clean sheets in his last 11 starts, though. He will now look to keep the momentum at Bournemouth on Saturday.

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde - Picks up knee problem Bellegarde was confirmed to have picked up a hamstring injury against Fulham on Saturday, as manager Gary O'Neil told reporters, "Bellegarde's is his knee and it will be a scan," p...

Impact Bellegarde appeared to have picked up an ankle issue at first look, but after talking with the manager, it was confirmed to have been a knee issue. The attacker will now have to undergo testing to determine the seriousness of the matter and when he will return, hoping to only be carrying a minor issue that he can come back from next week. The club will look for the same, as they are very limited in the attack, with Matheus Cunha and Hwang Hee-Chan yet to return from hamstring injuries, while Pedro Neto also went down against Fulham due to a hamstring problem.

Pedro Neto - Another hamstring issue confirmed Neto has been confirmed to have picked up a hamstring issue against Fulham on Saturday, as manager Gary O'Neil told reporters, "Pedro's was his hamstring but I'm not sure the exten...

Impact Neto has been confirmed to have picked up another hamstring injury after just returning from the same issue this week. This could be a huge loss for the club, as they near the end of the season right outside of the race for European football, but will have no first-team attackers left if Neto misses time, as Matheus Cunha and Hwang Hee-Chan are both still out with hamstring problems and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde went down with an ankle issue against Fulham as well. The club will now await Neto's testing, hoping the attacker is only dealing with minor complications and will be an option to face Bournemouth on Saturday.

Pedro Neto - Leaves field in first half Neto was forced off the field in the 45th minute of Saturday's match against Fulham after picking up what appears to be a hamstring injury.

Impact Neto looked to have possibly made his return to play too soon, as after getting the start Saturday despite holding a hamstring injury going into the match, he was forced off the field early due to what appears to be an issue in his hamstring once again. This could be a very brutal loss for the club if he misses an extended period, as he has started in all but one match he has been an option for this season and has already missed eight contests due to injuries. However, not much more will be known until he receives testing after the match, so it is still too early to jump to conclusions. He was replaced by Toti Gomes, although Thomas Doyle and Nathan Fraser will be his most likely replacement in future matches if Neto misses time.

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde - Comes off early Bellegarde was taken off in the 11th minute of Saturday's match against Fulham due to an apparent injury.

Impact Bellegarde did not make it all that long Saturday, as he was forced to retreat to the sidelines just after 10 minutes of play due to what appeared to be an ankle issue. This could be a brutal loss for the club if he misses time despite only earning three starts in the club's past 13 contests, as he is set to receive more time following the injuries of Matheus Cunha (hamstring) and Hwang Hee-Chan (hamstring). With that being said, the team will hope the injury is only minor, and he can take the field to face Bournemouth on March 16. He was replaced by Tommy Doyle, who will most likely continue in Bellegarde's role if he misses time.

Jose Sa - Gets start in net Sa (quadriceps) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Fulham.

Impact Sa is one of the many Wolves players to avoid missing any time due to minor injuries this week, as he is in the starting XI after being forced off at half against Newcastle in the club's last match due to a quadriceps issue. The goalie should be expected to remain in the starting role amid any more injuries, as he is easily their best option in net despite only recording four clean sheets this season.

Pedro Neto - Starting against Fulham Neto (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Fulham.

Impact Neto will avoid missing time with his latest issues, as he is in the starting XI for Saturday's match following his hamstring injury. This is good news for the team, as the attacker is a regular starter and should be expected to remain in that role, only having missed one game when healthy this season.

MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE

Joao Gomes - Back in starting XI Gomes (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Fulham.

Impact Gomes will only miss one match with his hamstring issues, as he is already back in the starting XI Saturday, as expected. The midfielder should be expected to continue in a starting role moving forward, as he has only missed out on six starts all season, three of which being due to injury.

Craig Dawson - Doesn't pass fitness test Dawson (groin) is out for Saturday's match against Fulham.

Impact Dawson appears to have not passed his late fitness test, as he is now missing his first match due to a groin issue he picked up mid-week. This is a tough loss for the club, as he is a regular starter, so they will hope for a quick recovery and to get him back out on the pitch next week. He is replaced in the starting XI by Santi Bueno.

Joao Gomes - Fully fit Gomes (hamstring) is fully fit and available for Saturday's clash with Fulham, according to manager Gary O'Neil."Joao's [Gomes] fine. He was disappointed last week because we playe...

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. Thomas Doyle did well when given a bit of run in the starting XI, and showed himself to be a competent backup if Gomes needs to rotate.

Craig Dawson - Late fitness test Dawson (groin) will undergo a late fitness test ahead of Saturday's clash with Fulham, according to manager Gary O'Neil. "Craig Dawson has a sore groin, so there will be a late che...

Impact Dawson has missed portions of training ahead of Saturday's clash and is now officially a doubt. The defender has been a consistent starting option, going the full 90 in nearly every match he's available for. If Dawson is unable to go during Saturday's match it would likely bring Santi Bueno into the backline.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Pedro Neto - Good to go Neto (hamstring) is available for Saturday's clash with Fulham, according to manager Gary O'Neil. "They're both fine and trained really well today."

Impact Neto was brought off due to some tightness in his hamstring and is expected to make a full return for Saturday's clash with Fulham. The winger is a crucial piece of the starting XI whenever fit and should be back in line for a major role during Saturday's match.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Jose Sa - Training Friday Sa (quadriceps) is training ahead of Saturday's clash with Fulham, according to manager Gary O'Neil. "They're both fine and trained really well today."

Impact Sa is back in training and should be an option for Saturday's match. The goalkeeper is the first choice whenever fully fit and available. Sa being fit once more should send Daniel Bentley back to the bench for Saturday's match, barring a late setback.

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde - Takes three shots in rare start Bellegarde had three shots (one on target), created two chances and drew two fouls during Saturday's 3-0 loss against Newcastle.

Impact Bellegarde made just his second start since the calendar flipped to 2024 and made most of the opportunity, being one of his team's few players that looked like a real threat up front. The first career EPL campaign hasn't been easy for the attacker, but he'll hope this performance paves the way for him to get more opportunities during upcoming matches.

MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE

Pablo Sarabia - Takes four shots versus Newcastle Sarabia had four shots (one on target), created one chance and sent in six crosses (one accurate) during Saturday's 3-0 loss against Newcastle.

Impact Sarabia was one of his team's few bright spots on this one, always trying to carry them forward and racking up team highs in both shots attempted and crosses. After a slow start of campaign, the winger is getting closer to his best version, with two goals, three assists and a lot of peripheral contributions over the last league appearances (nine starts).

Pedro Neto - Subbed off as precaution Neto's exit at halftime against Newcastle United was deemed precautionary by manager Gary O'Neil, who told reporters, "Pedro has a tight hamstring and I don't think there's any inj...

Impact Neto has started seven straight for the club and should still be in contention to feature heading into Saturday's matchup with Fulham. In those prior outings, the forward recorded one goal on 15 shots (five on target), two assists, 40 crosses (10 accurate) and nine corners.

MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE

Jose Sa - Could play Saturday Sa -- who suffered a quad injury against Newcastle -- might still be an option to face Fulham on Saturday. Manager Gary O'Neil told reporters, "Jose has a sore quad and they think...

Impact Sa wasn't exactly having a standout performance when he was taken off at halftime versus Newcastle, having conceded twice while making two saves in 45 minutes of action. Still, the keeper has featured in all but two of the club's 27 matches this season and should remain the preferred option ahead of Daniel Bentley.
