On Saturday afternoon, Wolverhampton Wanderers will return to Premier League action when they play Chelsea, who have new management. Wolves, who haven’t won since March 4, will be itching to return to winning ways, but The Blues’ anticipated boost from Frank Lampard’s return will make it difficult.
However, Wolves might benefit from some good news regarding health, as dynamic winger Hwang Hee-chan is now prepared to be included in the matchday squad. The South Korean has had a rough few months after suffering a hamstring injury in February and then another injury shortly after.
With the same absences from the match against Nottingham Forest, Julen Lopetegui made it plain that there are no more injury updates. Despite his recent good effort in training, Boubacar Traore was not included in the squad for the weekend. Although he is still doubtful, he may give Wolves’ head coach new selection headaches.
Naturally, Ruben Neves’ suspension—the top player received his tenth yellow card of the season against Forest—is the reason for such problem. The midfielder will not play against Brentford or Chelsea in the upcoming two matches. Jonny Otto will return for the trip to Leicester City despite being on suspension. Despite claims that he spits, Daniel Podence is accessible.
Only Sasa Kalajdzic and Chiquinho, two long-term absentees, are added to the list of players ruled out for Wanderers on Saturday. Both experienced severe knee injuries early in the season, and preseason training will see the return of full training.
Neves, Jonny, Kalajdzic, and Chiquinho are excluded. B. Traore is uncertain.
