Wolverhampton Wanderers will be bidding to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they continue their campaign away to Fulham on Friday evening.

Nuno Espirito Santo's side, who are currently 14th in the table, will again definitely be without the services of four first-team players for this match.

Willy Boly is currently self-isolating following a positive coronavirus test, while Jonny has suffered another serious knee problem and is facing a long period on the sidelines.

Fernando Marcal also remains absent due to an adductor issue, and Raul Jimenez will again not be considered for selection as he continues his recovery from a serious head injury.

Wolves will hope to be boosted by the return of Joao Moutinho, who was not available for Monday's 3-2 loss to West Ham United due to a knock.

Nuno does have plenty of options for change, but the Portuguese is expected to resist the temptation to shuffle his pack for the clash with their relegation-threatened opponents.

Fabio Silva came off the bench to score against the Hammers, and the youngster might now be handed the centre-forward spot in the side at the expense of Willian Jose.

Adama Traore, Daniel Podence and Pedro Neto should all keep their spots, though, while Rayan Ait Nouri is likely to again get the nod over Ki-Jana Hoever to feature at left-back.

Wolves possible starting lineup: Patricio; Semedo, Coady, Saiss, Ait Nouri; Dendoncker, Neves; Neto, Podence, Traore; Silva
