Impact Toti has missed the Wolves' last two games, but it seems he might have a shot at returning to the side Saturday.

Yerson Mosquera - Season over Mosquera (knee) will miss the remainder of the season with ACL and MCL damage, Wolves announced.

Impact Mosquera will now be looking to progress and get fit before the 2025/26 campaign. The defender was off to a promising start back with Wolves, starting all five matches to open the Premier League. Santi Bueno and Craig Dawson will need to fill in the minutes with Mosquera sidelined.

Impact The news coming out on Mosquera's injury isn't good and at a minimum it's already looking like months on the sideline. Following successful stints at Villarreal and FC Cincinnati, Mosquera was finally getting his chance in the Premier League, but this injury has quelled that excitement. Toti Gomes and Craig Dawson are likely to feature together at center-back going forward with Santi Bueno an option, as well.

Impact Johnstone struggled against Aston Villa Saturday, with the goalie making zero saves as he allowed all three shots on target to find the back of the net. He still has yet to earn a clean sheet this season in three appearances, giving up six goals during that span.

Impact Ait-Nouri is unlikely to take part in Saturday's clash as he struggles through an ankle injury. If Ait-Nouri is unable to play Saturday there will be some concern around the back line, as Toti Gomes (ankle) is in a similarly tough spot. If both are ruled out it could be Matt Doherty who slides over to fill in at left-back.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Toti Gomes - Uncertain Saturday Gomes (hamstring) is a doubt for Saturday's trip to Aston Villa, according to manager Gary O'Neil. "We need to check on Toti and Rayan today in training, see how they go. Neither...

Impact Gomes is hoping to return Saturday, but the fact he wasn't able to train throughout the week isn't a great sign for his availability. The defender has been a constant in the starting XI when fit, filling in at center and left-back. If Gomes is out it would likely be Craig Dawson at center-back in his place.
