Injury woes have compounded Wolves’ difficulties. The loss of Yerson Mosquera for the season following a severe knee injury is a significant setback. The defensive void he leaves is exacerbated by the continued absence of key players like Boubacar Traore, Toti Gomes, and Sasa Kalajdzic, all sidelined with long-term injuries.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has hinted goalkeeper Alisson Becker is ready to make his return from injury against Wolves this weekend. The Brazil international has missed the last two games with a hamstring niggle but returned to training earlier this week.
