Wolves Team News<\/h3>\n

At the pre-match press conference<\/span><\/a>, Edwards discussed the strain being felt by some players:<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a few that are feeling it, I don\u2019t want to go into detail on who. We\u2019ll make a couple of changes anyway, and maybe a few others.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hwang Hee-chan is still training on his own, so he is unlikely to be fit for this fixture. Toti Gomes will be back for the weekend, but will miss the visit of Arsenal.<\/p>\n
