Jose Sa - Keeps clean sheet in draw Sa made one save and three clearances while keeping a clean sheet during Sunday's scoreless draw against Chelsea.

Impact Sa was helped largely by the great job done by the defensive line and also saw opposing forwards struggle to find the target during the entire match. But the goalkeeper made the biggest save on the game in the 78th, denying Christian Pulisic what would've been the game-winning goal. This was Sa's second consecutive clean sheet and the fifth over his last seven starts. He'll try to keep it up during Sunday's home match against Watford.

Daniel Podence - Takes three shots in draw Podence had three off-target shots, created one chance, sent in three crosses (two accurate) and suffered one foul during Sunday's scoreless draw against Chelsea.

Impact Podence was his side's lone bright spot on the offensive end, as he made several dangerous plays and even had a goal disallowed due to an offside earlier in the play in the 15th minute. He, as well as his attacking partners, was slowed down during the second half and that led him to be subbed off after 79 minutes. Up next for Podence is Sunday's home match against Watford.

Hee-chan Hwang - Likely out against Chelsea Hwang is still being assessed for an injury suffered midweek and he's unlikely to be available Sunday against Chelsea, confirmed manager Bruno Lage.

Impact There's a chance this is a muscle injury for Hwang, but the lack of news from Wolves makes it hard to project. If it's indeed a hamstring injury, he may not return before the year is over, likely leading to more time for Daniel Podence and Adama Traore in the attack.

Rayan Ait-Nouri - Will miss at least one match Ait-Nouri is still being assessed for his injury suffered Wednesday, but he'll miss Sunday's match against Chelsea, confirmed manager Bruno Lage.

Impact Wolves never give too much away with their injuries and this is another case with Ait-Nouri, as it's still unclear what his injury is, though reports have it as an adductor issue. The good news for Wolves is that Fernando Marcal is a quality wing-back and can fill in no matter how long Ait-Nouri is out.

Fabio Silva - Could be out with COVID-19 Silva has tested positive for lateral flow of COVID-19 and is awaiting PCR results ahead of Sunday's match against Chelsea, according to manager Bruno Lage.

Impact Silva appeared for a minute last match, his first in six games. While he may see more time over the holidays because of fixture congestion, a positive COVID-19 result will prevent that. He's played 37 minutes all season despite being healthy and has seen less playing time since Daniel Podence returned from injury.

Raul Jimenez - Available Saturday Jimenez has served his one-match ban and will be eligible for the match-day squad against Chelsea on Sunday.

Impact Jimenez has scored just three goals in his 16 appearances this season and is well off the pace he set back in 2019-20 when he recorded 21 goals across all competitions. Still, the forward should continue to offer top-end fantasy value as the focal point of the Wolves' attack.

Hee-chan Hwang - Forced off early Wednesday Hwang was forced off in the 16th minute of Wednesday's match against Brighton with a possible muscle injury.

Impact Hwang tried to continue Wednesday, but he couldn't fight off his issue and was replaced by Adama Traore. It only added to Wolverhampton's problems, as Raul Jimenez is suspended. If it's a muscle injury, Hwang could end up missing multiple weeks, likely leading to more time for Daniel Podence and Traore.

Rayan Ait-Nouri - Injured in warmups Ait-Nouri was injured in warmups and has been replaced in the starting XI Wednesday against Brighton by Fernando Marcal.

Impact This is a massive change for fantasy implications, as Ait-Nouri has been one of Wolverhampton's better players. In his place, Marcal is back in the XI, meaning Joao Moutinho and Daniel Podence will likely be on the majority of set pieces.

Pedro Neto - Recovery going well Neto (knee) is set to return to training with Wolves in January, according to Tim Spiers of the Athletic.

Impact Neto hasn't played since he suffered a broken kneecap in April, and he suffered a setback in his recover in August that extended his absence. But the 21-year-old has been on track since then and could be making his return in the next month or two.

Impact The forward was shown two yellow cards in the span of a minute, the first for a foul and the second for getting in the way of the resulting free kick. Jimenez will miss Wednesday's match at Brighton through suspension, possibly resulting in another 5-3-2 formation or someone else starting as a forward.
