Team News: Nathan Fraser handed first Premier League start for Wolverhampton Wanderers

Fraser handed first Premier League start for Wolves

Nathan Fraser has been handed a start for Wolverhampton Wanderers in Saturday's Premier League game against Fulham.

With Matheus Cunha and Hwang Hee-chan currently on the sidelines through injury, Gary O'Neil has been left to find alternative options in the final third.

Nineteen-year-old Fraser has been given 97 minutes of Premier League football thus far, and he is now provided with his first opportunity in the starting lineup.

O'Neil has seemingly changed his formation to provide the youngster with more support, with Wolves switching to a back four with Santiago Bueno partnering Max Kilman in the absence of the injured Craig Dawson.

Toti Gomes and Tommy Doyle have dropped down to the substitutes' bench, with Joao Gomes returning in central midfield.

Meanwhile, Marco Silva has opted against making any alterations to his Fulham side who are attempting to win a third successive game.

Even though star man Joao Palhinha is available again after serving a two-match ban, the Portugal international is only selected among the replacements.

Former Wolves man Adama Traore is also named on the substitutes' bench, despite scoring in the 3-0 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion last time out.

Wolverhampton Wanderers: Sa; Semedo, S. Bueno, Kilman, Ait-Nouri; M. Lemina, Gomes; Sarabia, Bellegarde, Neto; Fraser

Subs: Bentley, Doherty, Traore, N. Lemina, H. Bueno, Doyle, Toti, Chirewa, Chiwome

Fulham: Leno; Castagne, Adarabioyo, Bassey, Robinson; Reed, Lukic; Wilson, Pereira, Iwobi; Muniz

Subs: Rodak, Ream, Tete, Palhinha, Cairney, Decordova-Reid, Willian, Traore, Broja
