Manor Solomon, Ivan Perisic, and Ryan Sessegnon continue to be sidelined due to knee and hamstring problems. Ben Davies’ absence in Gameweek 11 due to a knock prompts waiting for news on his condition. Additionally, Richarlison has mentioned the need for pelvic surgery, but the timing of the operation, whether before the Wolves match or during the international break, remains uncertain.

John Duran, recovering from a toe issue, is back in contention, and despite Diego Carlos coming off late in the game against AZ, manager Unai Emery believes the problem isn’t too severe.
