Hwang Hee-chan - Not ready to return yet Hwang (hamstring) is still "maybe one or two weeks" away from availability, Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui told the Birmingham Mail on Thursday.
Impact Hwang has missed his side's last two Premier League games with a hamstring injury he suffered in early February, and he's set to remain sidelined at least for Friday's clash against Fulham and possibly next week's Liverpool match while he continues his recovery. Adama Traore and Pablo Sarabia have seen an uptick in minutes on the wings in Hwang's absence.

Boubacar Traore - Edging closer to return Traore (groin) has been training with the team but isn't ready to return, according to manager Julen Lopetegui. "He has worked with us, but it will be step by step. He is not ready...
Impact Traore has been out since the World Cup break and his first appearance under Julen Lopetegui will likely be from the bench. It's unclear if he has a starting role under the new manager after drawing a set of starts prior to injury. His main competition in the midfield may be Mario Lemina, who is returning from a red card.

Impact Podence was back in action against Bournemouth on Saturday after missing the previous weekend's win over Southampton with a minor injury. He has started 16 of Wolves' 23 Premier League matches this season, scoring five goals mostly from the left wing.
FEBRUARY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mario Lemina - Available to play Lemina served his one-match suspension and is eligible for upcoming matches.
Impact Lemina was sent off early in his last start and was on his third-straight start under Julen Lopetegui, so he figures to win back a central midfield role as soon as the next match. If that's the case, there are some decisions to make as who gets dropped, though Adama Traore seems most likely. No matter, Lemina has never held much fantasy value during his career as a defensive midfielder.

Adama Traore - Places shot-on-target in loss Traore took a shot-on-target and placed six crosses (two accurate) in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth.
Impact Traore was the most dangerous player on the pitch on Saturday. He was fast, physical and the natural target for Wolves midfielders to seek out. His relatively low fantasy score did not do justice to his performance. He was subbed after 76. The Spaniard is not a regular starter (eight starts from 20 appearances) and has contributed a goal and an assist.
FEBRUARY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Pablo Sarabia - Shot-on-target in strong performance Sarabia fired two shots (one-on-target) in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Bournemouth.
Impact Sarabia was dangerous and lively on Saturday. He took some of Wolves free kicks and all their right-side corners. The Spanish forward joined Wolves from Paris Saint-Germain in January. It's early days, but he looks like he will be one to watch and only a matter of time before he provides assists or gets on the scoresheet.
FEBRUARY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jose Sa - Poor performance in defeat Sa managed no saves and conceded one in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Bournemouth.
Impact Sa did not have a great game on Saturday, he conceded the only shot-on-target he faced from Bournemouth. The Portuguese international has had a very average season, as a regular starter he has conceded 32 goals (1.4 per game), made 64 saves (2.7 per game) and delivered six clean sheets.

Ruben Neves - Outstanding performance in loss Neves played two shots (one on-target) in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth.
Impact Neves, the captain, had an outstanding game on Saturday. He formulated plays and was active in defensive duties when needed. The regular starter has scored five goals but he will be challenged to find the net in Wolves next against Fulham. The Cottagers have managed to keep a clean sheet in their last two games.
FEBRUARY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Joao Moutinho - Manages one shot-off-target in loss Moutinho fired one shot-off-target in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Bournemouth.
Impact Moutinho was one of Wolves principal playmakers on Saturday. He executed all their left-side corners and free kicks. He created a number of moves but they could not be capitalized upon by his attacking teammates (three key passes and four crosses) and was subbed after 70. The veteran Portuguese midfielder makes important contributions to his team in initiating maneuvers but has not been as strong at scoring attacking points. He has not found the net this season and has provided just two assists.

Daniel Podence - Closer to return Podence (undisclosed) is getting closer to a return to the squad but is doubtful for Saturday's match versus Bournemouth. Manager Julen Lopetegui told reporters, "I think Danny [Po...
Impact Podence completely missed last weekend's match against Southampton with the injury and prior to that, he had been benched in back-to-back contests. While he's been a regular most of the season, his starting role seems to be gone even when healthy, as Matheus Cunha and Pablo Sarabia are now getting the minutes up front.
FEBRUARY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Pablo Sarabia - Makes back-to-back starts Sarabia has started two straight matches, including Saturday's matchup with Southampton.
Impact Sarabia was primarily a substitute option for Paris Saint-Germain but has found himself a regular starter thus far with his new club. If he can maintain his place in the starting XI, Sarabia should offer decent fantasy production given his attacking role and ability to generate crosses.

Pedro Neto - Getting run with U21s Neto (ankle) is starting for the U21s Monday in order to build up his fitness after staying on the bench over the weekend.
Impact Neto was technically an option Saturday against Southampton, but Julen Lopetgui didn't want to throw him into a match in which the team was down a man. In addition to this U21s game, he'll have another full week of training before the next game, so he should be close to making his Premier League return against Bournemouth.

Nelson Semedo - Records five tackles in win Semedo recorded five tackles (three won) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Southampton.
Impact Semedo was careless with his fouls which saw him receive his fifth yellow card of the season. He has started the last 10 games while totaling one assist, 24 tackles (13 won) and 28 clearances in that span. He seems to be Julen Lopetegui's preferred right-back over Jonny and that should remain the case.
FEBRUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jose Sa - Give up one in win Sa had one save and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Southampton.
Impact Sa completed just one save to secure a win on Saturday against Southampton. He has let in seven goals with 21 saves and just one clean sheet in that span.

Pedro Neto - In contention Saturday Neto (ankle) could be an option for the match-day squad versus Southampton on Saturday. Manager Julen Lopetegui told reporters, "Neto's going step by step, and he's better, but he'...
Impact Neto's last appearance came Oct. 1 versus West Ham United in which he was forced off after just 24 minutes. Prior to his absence, the attacking midfielder started each of the first eight matches of the season but may have to settle for a spot on the bench for his first time back in the squad. Still, once fully fit and back to 100 percent, Neto should reclaim his place in the starting XI.
