Wolves return to Molineux on Saturday afternoon to face Sunderland in an insignificant Premier League clash.
Relegation to the Championship is already confirmed for Rob Edwards’s side. They have accumulated only seventeen points from thirty-four matches this term. Despite this situation, Edwards believes the effort of his players cannot be questioned. He insists the training levels remain high as the squad plays for pride.
Wolves are currently the lowest scorers in the Premier League with twenty-four goals. They have failed to score in 18 matches this season, a league-high. Their twenty-three defeats match their joint-most in any 38-game league campaign. However, they are unbeaten in seven home league games against Sunderland. Edwards wants to give the home fans something to cheer about before the campaign ends.
Wolves team news
Rob Edwards confirmed that Ladislav Krejci will miss the clash with a neck injury. The defender joined in parts of training, but this game comes too soon. Jose Sa is also a doubt due to an ongoing ankle problem. The goalkeeper has been playing through significant pain for a while now. Edwards is keen to get the injury right before the season concludes.
In his absence, Wolves would likely rely on their backup goalkeeping options. Sam Johnstone and Enso Gonzalez remain long-term absentees for the Old Gold. Yerson Mosquera returns to the squad after serving a two-match suspension. He is expected to start in a three-man backline alongside Santiago Bueno and Toti Gomes. Tolu Arokodare and Hwang Hee-Chan are both pushing for a starting spot.
Adam Armstrong should lead the line as the central striker for the hosts. Wolves have the lowest shot conversion rate of any side this term. Edwards believes a bit of quality has been lacking despite the players giving everything. Mateus Mane and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde may start in support of the attack. The team hopes to avoid a fifth defeat against a promoted side this season.
