Joao Gomes - Suspension served Gomes is available for Thursday's contest against Manchester United, having served a three-match ban due to a straight red card in the FA Cup.

Impact Gomes will return to play on Wednesday, no longer being banned after serving a three-match suspension. The midfielder should now be expected to return to the starting XI immediately, as he has started in all but four Premier League contests this season. He will hope to now earn a goal contribution that he is back on the team sheet, still having zero on the campaign.

English soccer authorities vow to stamp out fan trouble after West Brom-Wolves incident

Pablo Sarabia - Misses FA Cup match Sarabia missed Sunday's FA Cup match due to a knock to his calf, confirmed managed Gary O'Neil.

Impact Sarabia has started the last seven league matches for Wolves, a number he probably isn't used to since his days at Sevilla back in the 2018/19 season. The injury doesn't seem minor and he'll have a few more days to recover for Thursday's league match, but if he can't go, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde will likely get another go at the XI.

Rayan Ait-Nouri - 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.

Nelson Semedo - Quiet day against Brighton Semedo generated one cross (zero accurate) and one tackle in Monday's 0-0 draw against Brighton.

Impact Semedo was not as efficient as he usually is on Monday, contributing most of his stats in the defense with his one tackle won and four clearances despite being one of the better wing-backs in the league at joining the attack, only notching one cross in the draw. The defender looks to be having one of the best seasons of his career on paper and will hope to improve on that moving forward, as he continues to be a great two-way player with his one assist on 10 chances created and 44 crosses in the attack to go along with his 19 interceptions, 46 tackles and 49 clearances in the defense.

Max Kilman - Great day in the defense Kilman registered three tackles (three won), eight clearances and two interceptions in Monday's 0-0 draw versus Brighton. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 73rd minute...

Impact Kilman was exceptional in the defense Monday, recording two interceptions, three tackles and eight clearances, with his eight clearances tying his season-high in that category. The defender still has yet to miss a start or even come off the pitch this season, notching 22 interceptions, 29 tackles and 100 clearances in his 1,890 minutes of play this campaign.

JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Matheus Cunha - Three shots Monday Cunha registered three shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Monday's 0-0 draw against Brighton. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 47th minute.

Impact Cunha had a slight fall from grace after his stunning performance against Everton, where he scored and assisted, only notching one chance created and three shots in Monday's draw. He will hope to get back on the score sheet in the club's next match against Manchester United on Feb. 1 to improve on his 11-goal contributions this season, as he had three in the two previous games leading up to the draw against Brighton.

JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Jose Sa - Clean sheet in draw Sa had three saves and secured a clean sheet in Monday's 0-0 draw versus Brighton.

Impact Sa had a pretty good performance Monday, registering three saves as he led his team to a clean sheet. This was the goalie's second match in a row with a clean sheet, now having three on the season. He will have a much taller task in his next contest if he wants to record a third straight clean sheet, as he will face Manchester United on Feb. 1.

Pedro Neto - Active off bench again Neto came off the bench during the second half of Tuesday's 3-2 win over Brentford in the FA Cup.

Impact Neto is continuing to build his fitness and is seeing more and more minutes. The forward played more than 50 minutes during Tuesday's win and seems to be nearing a return to the starting XI. His first chance to do so will be a Monday trip to Brighton back in Premier League action.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Mario Lemina - Returns Tuesday Lemina came off the bench for the final 20 minutes of Tuesday's 3-2 win over Brentford in the FA Cup.

Impact Lemina made his return off the bench Tuesday, after the death of his father kept him out of action earlier in the month. The midfielder is back with the team and should be starting once more for Monday's trip to Brighton.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Hugo Bueno - Action off bench Bueno came off the bench during Tuesday's 3-2 win over Brentford in the FA Cup.

Impact Bueno was another injury doubt that made the return at the last minute during Tuesday's win. The full-back came off the bench just three minutes before extra time, giving him perhaps more run that expected. Still a return off the bench is a good sign that more minutes are soon to come for Bueno.

Mario Lemina - Back with team Lemina (personal) was back in training with the team ahead of the club's FA Cup match against Brentford on Tuesday, according to manager Gary O'Neil.

Impact Lemina is finally back with the team after taking the week off after traveling to France due to the death of his father. The midfielder may not be getting the start on Tuesday after just returning with the team, but he should be back in the starting mix for their match against Brighton on Jan. 22. Either way, the club will be happy to have him with the squad once again, as he has started in all 17 matches he has been available for this season.

Impact Bueno has trained a couple of times since going down with his injury, according to manager Gary O'Neil, and is expected to be in the squad for the second leg of their third-round FA Cup clash against Brentford on Jan. 16. He should come back into the team sheet rivaling for starting time immediately, as he becomes the club's first option at left-back seeing Rayan Ait-Nouri is out due to participating in the AFCON with Algeria. Wolves will hope he is healthy enough to get the starting spot, as the club will be left with Matt Hoherty or Santi Bueno to start if he is not. Even if Bueno doesn't start, still expect him to get time off the bench, as they will want to test his fitness as they head into the second half of the campaign.

JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Nelson Semedo - Continues as regular starter Semedo has only missed the starting XI in one match this season, starting in the club's past 11 matches.

Impact Semedo is now in his fourth straight season as a regular starter for Wolverhampton, appearing in 114 matches while starting in 109 of those. This is continuing in the club's current campaign, as he only has missed one start all season, and that was only due to a short-term injury he had to deal with. His contribution out of the defense has been decent as usual, notching 19 interceptions, 43 crosses, 45 tackles and 45 clearances to go along with his one assist. He only has one goal contribution this season with an assist, which matches his total from each of the last three seasons, but he will still hope to earn more as he looks to improve upon his decent season.

Joao Gomes - Sent off early Gomes was shown a straight red card in the first half of Friday's FA Cup clash with Wolves.

Impact Gomes was handed his marching orders just minutes into Friday's clash and he will now serve a three-match ban. While that ban will almost certainly be appealed it's hard to see it overturned, especially since the challenge saw Christian Norgaard forced off with an injury. Gomes will be suspended for three matches, ruling him out for a Jan. 22 trip to Brighton and a Feb. 1 clash with Manchester United.

Yerson Mosquera - Returns to Wolverhampton Mosquera was spotted training with Wolverhampton after spending the 2023 season on loan at FC Cincinnati.

Impact Mosquera made 30 appearances (29 starts) in 2023, adding three goals and one assist and making 122 clearances for a Cincinnati team that made a deep playoff run in the MLS Playoffs. His future is uncertain -- he could go out on loan once again or fight for a place at Wolverhampton. If he chooses the latter, however, he'll have difficulty earning consistent first-team minutes.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Mario Lemina - Still with family Lemina is still with his family and won't be available for Friday's FA Cup clash with Brentford, according to manager Gary O'Neil.

Impact Lemina's father passed away and he has been away from the team. O'Neil mentioned that Lemina could possibly return for a Jan. 22 clash with Brighton, though Lemina will obviously be given as much time as needed to recover from the loss.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Hwang Hee-chan - Off to Asian Cup Hwang is linking up with Korea for the Asian Cup, Wolves announced.

Impact Hwang is off to link up with Korea for the Asian Cup, with a deep run on the cards the forward will likely miss most, if not all, of January and could be out further. It's certainly a damper on what has been a brilliant season for the striker, who has 10 goals and three assists in 20 appearances.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Boubacar Traore - Called up by Mali Traore was called up for AFCON by Mali and will now depart for the tournament.

Impact Traore will miss at least one match and if Mali make a deeper run he could be out until February. The midfielder will be more of a bench loss than anything else as he has only made three starts in 11 appearances this season.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Rayan Ait-Nouri - 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.
