Jordan Beyer, meanwhile, will also miss out through suspension after picking up his fifth booking of the season against Sheffield United.

That could mean a first start of the season for Hjalmar Ekdal, who came off the bench during the final stages of Saturday’s victory.

Elsewhere, Arijanet Muric remains a doubt after missing his second consecutive game on Saturday. The goalkeeper hasn’t trained since missing Kosovo’s game against Belarus during the November international break with an infection.

Jack Cork is also missing with a calf injury, while Lyle Foster continues to take a break to receive specialist treatment for his mental wellbeing.

The likes of Ameen Al-Dakhil, Connor Roberts, Hannes Delcroix, Manuel Benson and Anass Zaroury will also be hoping to be involved at Molineux after being left out of the squad on Saturday.

As for Wolves, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Pedro Neto and Joe Hodge are all likely to miss out with injuries, while Jose Sa and Jonny Otto are doubts.

It’s claimed Otto missed Wolves’ 2-1 defeat to Arsenal at the weekend as a result of a training ground incident.

The Spaniard has been a regular on Gary O’Neil’s bench this season but was a noticeable absentee at The Emirates on Saturday.
