Jean-Ricner Bellegarde - Inured after scoring Bellegarde scored once before coming off injured during Monday's clash with Manchester United.

Impact Bellegarde scored during first-half stoppage time, but was forced off inside the opening 10 minutes of the second half. The midfielder was in noticeable pain when he came off and could be set for a spell on the sideline. Fer Lopez came on to replace him, and could take a larger role in the coming weeks.

Hugo Bueno - Returns to bench Bueno (back) is on the bench for Monday's clash with Manchester United.

Impact Bueno is back on the bench for Monday's clash after overcoming a back injury that left him out against Nottingham Forest. The defender wasn't deemed fit enough for a spot in the starting XI, so David Moller Wolfe continues to start at left-back.

Ladislav Krejci - Starting against Manchester United Krejci (knee) is in the starting XI for Monday's clash with Manchester United.

Impact Krejci was a doubt coming into the game after suffering a minor knee injury, but in the end he was deemed fit and is back in the starting XI. Krejci was a nailed-on starter prior to the injury and lands straight back in the team, in midfield for the second time this season.

Jorgen Strand Larsen - Zero shot attempts in defeat Strand Larsen generated one tackle (zero won) and two clearances in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest.

Impact Strand Larsen managed just seven passes and did not attempt a shot Wednesday across his 90 minutes of play as a listless Wolverhampton were overcome by Nottingham Forest in a 1-0 defeat. After a double-digit goal campaign to begin his Wolverhampton career, the talented striker has gotten off to a slow start this season, scoring once over 12 Premier League appearances (11 starts). Across his last five appearances (five starts), Strand-Larsen has attempted three shots (one on goal) and created two chances.

Yerson Mosquera - Breaks-up play in defeat Mosquera had one cross (zero accurate) and four tackles in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 67th minute.

Impact Mosquera led the Wolverhampton defensive effort Wednesday with four tackles (four won) as they conceded a second half goal in a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest. The young defender has made just six Premier League appearances (four starts) across Wolverhampton's first 14 league fixtures. With Hugo Bueno (back) still recovering and Ladislav Krejci (knee) working his way back from injury, Mosquera has started in each of Wolverhampton's last two league fixtures.

DECEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Sam Johnstone - Two saves in defeat Johnstone had two saves and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 1-0 loss against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Johnstone came for a cross in the second-half of Wednesday's matchup versus Nottingham Forest, but he was unable to lay a hand on the ball and conceded the lone goal of the fixture. Across his last five starting appearances, the veteran keeper has made 18 saves and eight clearances while conceding an average of two goals per appearance. If Johnstone remains the preferred option over Jose Sa, look for him between the sticks Monday when Wolverhampton host Manchester United.

Marshall Munetsi - Likely calf injury Munetsi is thought to have suffered a calf injury, according to manager Rob Edwards, according to Liam Keen of the Express and Star. "Munetsi has had a scan today, we think he's pu...

Impact Munetsi was only on the field for five minutes Wednesday and was forced off the field, with the club now thinking he has a calf injury after further scans. Unfortunately for the midfielder, this will likely mean he is set to miss time, now a late call to make for Monday's match against Manchester United. He has started in most of their games this season, so this will be something to monitor, especially with Joao Gomes suspended, likely forcing Jean-Ricner Bellegarde to take a less attacking role if Munetsi misses out.

DECEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Hugo Bueno - Suffers back injury Bueno was absent from Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forrest due to a minor back injury, according to Liam Keen of the Express and Star.

Impact Bueno was missing from the team sheet Wedensday despite no prior notice of an injury, with it now known he was dealt a minor back injury. The good news is the injury is minor, although the club only has until Monday to recover before they take the field against Manchester United. He will then be in a race against time to be fit for Monday, with David Moller Wolfe as a possible replacement

DECEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Joao Gomes - Picks one match suspension Gomes will serve one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards in the Premier League.

Impact Gomes accumulated five yellow cards in the Premier League and will be suspended for the clash against Manchester United on Monday. His absence will impact the starting squad since he has been an undisputed starter in the midfield for the Wolves, with Jean-Ricner Bellegarde as the main option to replace him due to the doubts on Marshall Munetsi (undisclosed) and Ladislav Krejci (knee). Gomes will be back available for the clash against Arsenal on Dec. 13.

DECEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Marshall Munetsi - Off injured against Forest Munetsi (undisclosed) was forced off injured after a five minutes shift off bench in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest, according to Liam Keen from Express and Star.

Impact Munetsi entered the pitch for five minutes and took a shot on target before being forced off with an apparent injury, leaving his teammates one man down for the rest of the game. The midfielder is already a doubt for Monday's clash against Manchester United, although a potential absence won't affect the starting XI since he seems to have lost his starting role due to his bad performances and new coach Rob Edwards.

DECEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Matt Doherty - Missing to face Forest Doherty (knee) is out for Wednesday's match against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Doherty is not an option after suffering from some knee pain, with the defender appearing to fail testing after he was a late call. This is the sixth straight match missed for the defender, who cannot remain fit this campaign. However, with the defender close to returning and a quick turnaround into Monday's match, he could be an option then.

Nottingham Forest vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers Prediction, Odds, Picks - Dec 3

Matt Doherty - Late call to face Nottingham Doherty (knee) is a late call for Wednesday's match against Nottingham Forest, according to his club.

Impact Doherty is set to compete for a spot in the squad Wednesday, with the defender recovering from his injury and set to be tested ahead of the contest. However, he is unlikely to see any starting time, only fit to be limited from the bench. He has previously started in four of his six appearances on the team sheet this campaign, hopeful to earn some starting time after testing his legs.

DECEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Ladislav Krejci - Not far from return Krejci (knee) is back on grass and not far from a return, according to his club.

Impact Krejci will not make the call for Wednesday's match, but is at least making some decent progress in his return, already back on grass training. However, the defender has yet to train with the group, unlikely to see the field this week. He will likely look to see the field next week, facing Arsenal on Dec. 13, a regular starter for the club when fit.

DECEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Ladislav Krejci - Suffers minor knee injury Krejci missed Sunday's 1-0 loss against Aston Villa due to a minor knee injury, coach Rob Edwards said to the media, according to Liam Keen from Express and Star.

Impact Krejci missed Sunday's clash against the Villains after suffering from a minor knee injury this week. The defender was feeling pain behind his knee but the staff are hoping he could be back available for Wednesday's clash against Nottingham Forest. This would be good news since he has been an undisputed starter for Wolves since his arrival over the summer from Girona. If he had to miss the game or start on the bench against Forest, Yerson Mosquera will be expected to start in the back-three again.

NOVEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Sam Johnstone - Five saves in loss Johnstone registered five saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-0 defeat versus Aston Villa.

Impact Johnstone allowed his 17th goal in nine matches, making 31 saves in the process. He is still without a clean sheet and will look to claim his first when Wolverhampton faces Nottingham Forest Wednesday.

Matt Doherty - Missing to face Villa Doherty (knee) is out for Sunday's match against Aston Villa.

Impact Doherty was unlikely to make the call Sunday and is not with the team, as his knee injury is still too much for the defender to take the pitch. This will bring his total to five games straight missed, starting in four of his six appearances on the team sheet when fit.

Daniel Bentley - Set to miss few more weeks Bentley (ankle) is ruled out for a few weeks, coach Rob Edwards said in the press conference, according to Liam Keen from Express and Star. "Bentley will be out for a few weeks."

Impact Bentley suffered an ankle injury over the international break that will sideline him for a few more weeks. The goalkeeper is only the third pick in the hierarchy, therefore his absence until mid-December most likely will not impact the starting squad of Wolves.

Matt Doherty - Unlikely against Aston Villa Doherty (knee) trained with the team this week but Sunday's clash against Aston Villa is probably coming too soon for him, coach Rob Edwards said in the press conference, according...

Impact Doherty resumed team training this week with the Wolves after overcoming a knee ligament issue and is nearing a return to the match squad. His return might be delayed until the midweek clash against Nottingham Forest since Sunday's meeting with Aston Villa is likely coming too soon for him. That said, given his age, the defender might be eased back into action to avoid any further setbacks.

NOVEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Sam Johnstone - Two saves, two conceded Johnstone registered two saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-0 defeat versus Crystal Palace.

Impact Johnstone conceded a minimum of two goals for a fifth straight game and is up to 13 goals against, compared to just 16 saves over that span. He has yet to record a clean sheet among his eight appearances on the campaign. Up next for Wolverhampton is a meeting with Aston Villa on Sunday, November 30.

NOVEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Joao Gomes - Logs first shot on target Gomes recorded one shot (one on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 77th minute.

Impact After playing as a sub for back-to-back matches, Gomes has now started in two consecutive games. He recorded his first shot in three outings, while the shot on target marked his first of the season. This also marked his second consecutive outing with over 35 completed passes, but he has not accounted for a chance created in his last four appearances.
