Impact Semedo earned an assist for the second match in a row Sunday, finding Jorgen Strand Larsen in the seventh minute. He was also decent in the defense, notching two tackles won and two clearances. However, he will have to be weary in their next match, as he did pick up his fourth yellow card of the season against City and is now one off of a suspension.

Jorgen Strand Larsen - Scores opening goal Larsen scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 defeat versus Manchester City.
Impact Larsen found the net first Sunday, putting Wolves on the board early in the seventh minute. This marks his third goal of the season and has now scored in back-to-back matches. He has yet to miss a start this season, producing three goals on 10 shots and one assist on four chances created.

Jose Sa - Concedes two against City Sa registered five saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-1 loss versus Manchester City.
Impact Sa returned to net Sunday with Sam Johnstone (hip) out, proving decent despite the two goals allowed, making five saves and only seeing the loss due to a controversial goal in stoppage time. This was his third appearance of the season, registering 11 saves and 10 goals allowed in that time. He will look to continue in goal in their next match, although Johnstone is likely to take the spot back if fit.

Hwang Hee-chan - Out two-to-three weeks Hwang (ankle) will miss two-to-three weeks, Wolves announced.
Impact Hwang is going to miss multiple weeks with the ankle injury he suffered on international duty. It was always expected that he'd miss time after the ugly injury, but it appears he avoided any major damage. He's only made one Premier League start, so his absence shouldn't change much in the starting XI, though it could offer Carlos Forbs more minutes off the bench.
OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE
Tommy Doyle - Mainly used off bench Doyle has received all five of his appearances off the bench this campaign.
Impact Doyle has found himself in a rotational role for the struggling Wolves this season, having received all five appearances and 65 minutes of play off the bench. This follows suit to last season, although he was at least seeing some starts, starting in 11 of his 26 appearances in the previous campaign. He looks likely to continue in this role unless the team sees some turnover to try to fix their downfall, with the midfielder likely seeing minimal value even if he does see more starting time.
OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE
Pablo Sarabia - Falls out of favor Sarabia has only appeared for 28 minutes off the bench in the club's seven matches this campaign.
Impact Sarabia is experiencing a huge loss in minutes after starting in 20 of his 30 appearances last campaign, as he has only appeared off the bench twice this season for a total of 28 minutes of play. Not to mention he has yet to gain a goal contribution, only attempting two shots and registering zero chances created. The attacker will have a hard time finding a way back into more minutes if he continues to see minimal time, receiving zero minutes since the club's second match of the campaign.
OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE
Jose Sa - Falls to backup role Sa has gone unused off the bench in his past four appearances on the team sheet.
Impact Sa looks to have fallen out of the starting role for Wolves following an injury and after allowing six goals in his last outing, as he has not started a match since Aug. 25. That said, he looks to be the second option in net, with Sam Johnstone taking that role after five straight starts. This is a tough break for the goalie, although all hope isn't lost of possibly earning that spot back, as Johnstone has allowed 13 goals in his five starts.

Hwang Hee-chan - Forced off injured Hwang was forced off with an apparent injury during the first half of Thursday's 2-0 win over Jordan.
Impact Hwang made it just 23 minutes into the clash before being forced off. It's not clear how serious the injury is, but the forward had to be helped off the pitch. It's possible he returns to England to have the injury assessed with his club.

Sasa Kalajdzic - Back on grass Kalajdzic (knee) is training on grass, according to the club's trainer Phil Hayward. "Sasa's getting towards the end. He's back on the grass which is great for him. He's now starti...
Impact Kalajdzic is seeing significant improvements in his health after suffering a torn ACL last February while with Frankfurt, as he has trained on grass and is expected to integrate into more training with a ball within the next month or two. This leaves the forward eyeing a return near December or January, as initially anticipated. He will hope to see no setbacks and continue on the positive route, although he is likely to only hold a minor role once fit again.

Yerson Mosquera - Completes surgery Mosquera has completed surgery on his knee, according to the club's trainer Phil Hayward. "Everything went well with Yerson. The surgeon was very pleased with how the procedure wen...
Impact Mosquera has already been announced out for the season, with the defender undergoing surgery following damage to his ACL and MCL. He is now set for a long road of recovery, as he will rest at home for the next week before returning to his club to start the early stage of rehab. However, as previously mentioned, he will miss the rest of the season, just hoping his recovery goes well and he is fit for the start of next season.
OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
Hwang Hee-chan - Role diminished Hee-Chan has only started in two of his seven appearances on the team sheet this campaign.
Impact Hee-Chan has seen his role diminish heavily after breaking out with Wolves last season, as he did start in 25 of his 29 appearances while notching 15 goal contributions in the previous campaign. There has been no explanation for his drop in the depth chart, with the most likely reason being due to more focus on control in the midfield for the club instead of the counterattacking they died by last season, as he did start in the first two matches of the season before being dropped. That said, he will hope to find a way back into the starting XI, although he looks more likely to continue to see time off the bench.

Impact Dawson missed out against Liverpool due to an illness, but is now back in the final match before the international break. As with most illnesses it seems he is mostly over it, and is fully fit once more. He partners Toti Gomes in the backline for Saturday's clash.

Impact Dawson will be hoping to get back in the starting XI for the final match before the international break. The defender missed out on a tough 2-1 loss to Liverpool due to an illness, but is trending towards a full return. If he can get fit, Dawson would likely be back in the starting XI, though a return to full fitness seems unlikely at best.
