FA Cup: Wolves vs Grimsby Confirmed Lineup and Team News
Wolves Team News
There will be a late fitness test for André, who returned to training on Friday after missing the past two games due to injury. Hwang Hee-chan and Toti Gomes remain unavailable through injury. Speaking to the media ahead of the FA Cup clash, Edwards had this to say:
“It doesn’t feel any different. We’re preparing for another game and looking forward to it. It’s a brilliant competition that we obviously want to progress in.”
Grimsby Team News
George McEachran was subbed off during their previous match with Accrington Stanley, but is expected to be available for this game. Géza Dávid Turi and Jude Soonsup-Bell are also expected to make the matchday squad. Manager David Artell had this to say about the prospect of facing Premier League opposition:
We have to perform to our highest level possible. There’s no getting around the fact that a Premier League team demands that of you and it doesn’t matter whether they’re top, middle or bottom.
“We’ve played probably the biggest club in that division already this season… and we’ve caused one of the biggest upsets. So regardless of size of club, the fact that they play in that division means that they are very, very good.”
Wolves will be heavy favourites to progress to the next round, but never underestimate the ‘magic of the cup’. At Blundell Park, Grimsby will be determined to test Edwards’ side and should not be overlooked.
