Wolverhampton Wanderers are set to be without two players for Saturday’s Premier League clash with Bournemouth at Molineux.
Defender Toti Gomes and midfielder Jean-Ricner Bellegarde both remain sidelined as they continue to recover from hamstring injuries, but Jorgen Strand Larsen and Jose Sa are available for selection despite reported interest in their services.
Head coach Rob Edwards has had some success with a 3-5-2 formation in recent weeks and he is expected to stick with the same system this weekend, with Yerson Mosquera, Santiago Bueno and Ladislav Krejci set to continue in the back there in front of goalkeeper Sa.
While Jackson Tchatchoua and Hugo Bueno will likely provide the width as wing-backs, Joao Gomes and Andre are expected to link up with 18-year-old starlet Mateus Mane in centre-midfield.
Edwards decided to begin with Hwang Hee-chan and Jhon Arias in attack in Wolves’ 2-0 defeat to Manchester City last weekend, but the latter could make way against Bournemouth if the Old Gold boss wishes to start with a target man.
Strand Larsen an Tolu Arokodare are both in contention to earn a recall, with the latter looking to end his seven-game goal drought in the Premier League.
Wolverhampton Wanderers possible starting lineup: Sa; Mosquera, S. Bueno, Krejci; Tchatchoua, Andre, Mane, J. Gomes, H. Bueno; Hwang, Arokodare
