Impact Sa ends his time in the Premier League on a high, making seven saves and allowing just one goal during the draw to Burnley on Sunday.

He made 23 PL appearances, allowing 37 goals with 65 saves and securing four clean sheets.

Four saves in draw Sa made four saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Fulham.

Impact Sa was passed fit enough to start Sunday's 1-1 draw at Molineux despite his ankle concern, making an important early save to deny Timothy Castagne's volley at the back post from an Alex Iwobi cross. The Portuguese goalkeeper also produced a sharp stop in the second half from Fulham's best chance of the match, maintaining his composure in an emotional farewell atmosphere with the club already relegated to the Championship. Sa has now made 58 saves, conceded 36 goals and kept four clean sheets across 22 Premier League appearances this season.

Starting in return Sa (ankle) is in the starting XI for Sunday's clash against Fulham.

Impact Sa made a full return after training fully ahead of the weekend, with manager Rob Edwards confirming the club was at full tilt as the goalkeeper earned his starting role back between the posts. The Portuguese shot-stopper had been sidelined with an ankle issue, and his clearance ahead of the final two fixtures of the campaign is a significant boost for Wolves despite their impending relegation. Daniel Bentley had been holding down the starting role in his absence but will return to a backup position with Sa back between the posts.

Fit for Sunday Sa (ankle) is back in training and an option for Sunday's match against Fulham, according to manager Rob Edwards, per Liam Keen of Express and Star. "[Jose] trained fully today, so...

Impact Sa was trending towards returning Sunday, and that looks to be coming to fruition, as the goalie has been cleared of his injuries heading into Sunday. This is major news for the club, as they will regain their regular starter in net to end the campaign before their eventual relegation. Sa should then return to a starting role nearly immediately, putting Daniel Bentley back in a backup role.

Trains, hopeful to face Fulham Sa (ankle) is training but needs to wait another week for his return, according to manager Rob Edwards. "Sa's, getting back to it, he won't be involved quite yet, but we're hopeful...

Impact Sa is set to miss another match despite a boost in fitness this week, as he will instead eye the Fulham match for a return. This would leave the goalie fit for the final two games of the season ahead of the club's relegation. Once fit, the keeper should reclaim his starting role between the posts, sending Daniel Bentley back to the bench.

MAY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with ankle injury Sa won't be available for Saturday's game against Sunderland due to an ankle injury, according to manager Rob Edwards. "Sa is a slight doubt again, but not with the issue that he h...

Impact Sa had been dealing with shoulder and back injuries, but now he'll sit out Saturday's game due to a lingering ankle problem. The Wolves will allow the Portuguese goalkeeper to recover properly since they don't have anything to play for in the final weeks of the season. That said, with both Sa and Sam Johnstone (shoulder) out, it seems Daniel Bentley should get the nod, with an Academy goalkeeper operating as the backup.

MAY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Concedes once Saturday Sa had one save and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 loss against Tottenham Hotspur.

Makes starting XI Sa (shoulder) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Tottenham.

Impact Sa passed his late fitness test after manager Rob Edwards confirmed he had trained and felt comfortable, earning a starting role between the posts despite the uncertainty surrounding his shoulder heading into the weekend. The goalkeeper is the club's regular starter and his clearance is a significant relief for Wolves, who are already without Sam Johnstone (shoulder) for the remainder of the season. Daniel Bentley had been on standby to deputize but will have to settle for a backup role with Sa back between the posts.

APRIL 25 • ROTOWIRE

Trains, late call for Saturday Sa (shoulder) is questionable for Saturday's match against Tottenham, according to manager Rob Edwards, per Liam Keen of the Express and Star. "[Jose] trained today, we'll give hi...

Impact Sa is trending towards being an option Saturday, but is still in need of some more reinforcement, as he has begun to train but is not fully fit. This will likely leave the goalie to face a fitness test ahead of the match, a true late call for the match against Spurs. With Sam Johnstone (shoulder) already done for the season, the club will hope to have Sa, their regular starter, fit for play, or else Daniel Bentley will be in charge of goalie duties.

APRIL 24 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with shoulder injury Sa is ruled out of Saturday's clash against Leeds United after travelling with the squad and attempting to test his injured shoulder before ultimately withdrawing from the game, ac...

Impact Sa gave every effort to be available for the fixture, making the late withdrawal a particularly frustrating development for Wolves heading into a crucial relegation battle clash. With Sam Johnstone (shoulder) also sidelined with an injury of his own, Daniel Bentley is set to step between the posts, leaving Wolves without both of their senior goalkeeping options for a game with significant implications in the fight to avoid the drop.

Impact Sa is still dealing with ankle soreness and is considered questionnable for Monday's clash against Brentford. He will be evaluated in the coming training sessions to determine whether he can feature. He has held the starting role in league play since late December, so his potential absence would be a blow for the side, with Sam Johnstone expected to handle starting duties if he is ruled out.

He also handled numerous crosses and second balls as Forest applied steady pressure throughout the game.

He will aim to build on this display against Arsenal next Wednesday.
