Daniel Podence - Gets 15 minutes in return Podence (toe) played 15 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Norwich.
Impact Podence is back on the pitch to close the season after missing a little more than a month with a toe injury. There's a chance he starts Sunday's finale at Liverpool, but Pedro Neto has taken the starting job of late and figures to get the call in a difficult trip to close the campaign.

Romain Saiss - Out for finale Saiss (undisclosed) will remain out for Sunday's finale against Liverpool.
Impact It's the third-straight absence for Saiss, who suffered a knock in the May 7 contest against Chelsea. Bruno Lage has mixed things up in his absence with Jonny and Toti Gomes both featuring in the back three. Saiss ends another mostly successful campaign with two goals, 149 clearances and 11 clean sheets from 31 starts.

Chiquinho - Six crosses off bench in draw Chiquinho had one shot on goal, created one chance and sent in six crosses (two accurate) after coming off the bench during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Norwich.
Impact Chiquinho was a halftime substitute, replacing Conor Coady as his side adopted a more attacking approach, and proved to be a huge threat from the flanks. The youngster was involved in several dangerous plays, sent in a team-high six crosses and once again showed that he's more that capable of filling a larger role next season. He'll hope to keep getting playing time during next Sunday's season finale against Liverpool.

Joao Moutinho - Creates three chances in draw Moutinho had one off-target shot, created three chances and sent in five crosses (three accurate) during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Norwich.
Impact Moutinho created a team-high three chances, his most since September and was particularly dangerous on set pieces, which included the free-kick cross that resulted in the goal scored by Rayan Ait-Nouri after the opposing defense failed to clear the ball. The veteran midfielder will try to finish his season in a high note during next Sunday's visit to Liverpool.

Pedro Neto - Takes five shots in draw Neto had five shots (one on target), created one chance and sent in four crosses (one accurate) during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Norwich.
Impact Neto was by far Wolves' best player on the offensive end, being involved in his side's most dangerous plays and having a headed miraculously saved by the goalkeeper during the second half. The youngster is showing a lot of promise during the final stretch of the season and will try to score his first goal for Wolves during next Sunday's season finale against Liverpool.

John Ruddy - Concedes one in season debut Ruddy made one save and conceded one goal during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Norwich.
Impact Ruddy made his season debut here, replacing Jose Sa (rest) and was beaten in the 37th minute when Teemu Pukki gave him no chance with a shot between two defenders to open the scoring for the opposition. Other than that, the veteran goalkeeper showed safety when called into action. Ruddy will be out of contract next summer and, with Jose Sa probably back for Sunday's visit to Liverpool, this could've been a farewell for him.

Rayan Ait-Nouri - Scores in draw Ait-Nouri scored a goal off two shots (one on target), created one chance, sent in four crosses (one accurate) and suffered two fouls during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Norwich.
Impact Ait-Nouri didn't fill the stat sheet as he did several times during this campaign but made up for that with a much bigger contribution in the 55th minute. The full back was at the right place to head the ball home after the opposing defense failed to clear a free-kick cross from the right. This was the first goal of the season for Ait-Nouri, who will try to finish his season in style during next Sunday's visit to Liverpool.

Jose Sa - Blown away Sa made no saves during Wednesday's 5-1 loss to Manchester City.
Impact Sa made no saves on five shots faced in his far and away worst showing of the season. There was nothing redeeming for Sa as he was utterly demolished by the best team in the world. Sa and Wolves will hope to rebuild their confidence against Norwich City on Sunday.

Pedro Neto - First assist Wednesday Neto provided one assist on three chances created during Wednesday's 5-1 loss to Manchester City.
Impact Neto finally earned his first assist of the campaign during Wednesday's one-sided loss. The winger has only made three starts this season, far fewer than the 30 he managed in 2020/21. Neto will hope to put this disappointing season behind him as he moves towards the 2022/23 campaign. Next up is a Sunday clash with Norwich.

Leander Dendoncker - Nets in loss Dendoncker scored once on two shots on goal during Wednesday's 5-1 loss to Manchester City.

Daniel Podence - Still struggling with injury Podence "is making progress with his toe injury" but does not have a timeline to return, according to the team.
Impact Podence has missed the last month with this injury and it's hard to see him returning before the end of the season unless he returns to training this week. He turned into a regular the second half of the season but an injury will derail how he closes it. He's at two goals and three assists from 25 appearances (15 starts), in line with where he was last season under Nuno Espirito Santo.

Max Kilman - Remains in walking boot Kilman will "be out of a boot soon and then can start to progress his rehabilitation for an ankle ligament injury," according to the team.
Impact It's now confirmed that Kilman will miss the rest of the season after Bruno Lage kind of avoided putting an end to the defender's campaign a week ago. While he turned into a regular this season with 30 starts, there's no guarantee he won't have more competition for playing time next season.
