Wolves vs Aston Villa latest injury news as Bruno Lage has four key worries
Wolverhampton Wanderers return to Premier League action when they play Aston Villa on Saturday week.
Bruno Lage's Wolves will be hoping to complete a double over their Midlands rivals when Steven Gerrard's side head to Molineux next month. Both teams have players away on international duty with Lage and Gerrard keeping their fingers crossed that no players return with any new injury worries.

Meanwhile, Pedro Neto remains out with a minor foot issue while Ki-Jana Hoever and Nelson Semedo (both hamstring), are still sidelined. The two-week break for international football gives Wolves a chance to get players back fit and prepare for the Villa clash with no interruptions.

"In a couple of days we'll know what happened. He didn't feel comfortable, he fell down on his knee and didn't feel comfortable, now we need to wait and see what happened."
Semedo suffered a hamstring injury in the 2-1 defeat to Arsenal on February 24 and is expected to remain sidelined until after the international break. The earliest possible return date for Semedo is currently April 2 when Wolves face Villa.
Lage said on March 4: "Nelson is going to be out for at least one month - let's see how he goes, but we have that news for now -
