Wolves vs Leeds United match squads and team news for Premier League clash

Wolverhampton Wanderers are back in Premier League action on Friday evening when they take on Leeds United at Molineux (8pm kick-off).

Wolves are eighth in the table as they bid to secure a European spot, while Leeds are 16th and four points clear of the relegation zone. Ahead of the game, we have taken a look at the latest team news from both camps.

Hwang Hee-chan has recovered from a dead leg to take his place in the Wolves attack. The South Korean forward was forced off during the early stages of Sunday’s 1-0 Premier League win at Everton, a result which left Wolves just five points from fourth-placed Arsenal.

Defenders Ki-Jana Hoever and Nelson Semedo (both hamstring) and forward Pedro Neto (foot) remain out. But Wolves boss Bruno Lage is hopeful the latter two will be available straight after the international break.

Kalvin Phillips and skipper Liam Cooper are both back in contention for Leeds following long-term injury. Midfielder Phillips and centre-half Cooper have been sidelined since early December due to respective hamstring injuries and are expected to feature.

Striker Patrick Bamford will resume after making his first start since September in Sunday’s home win against Norwich. Meanwhile, forwards Joe Gelhardt and Rodrigo will both be assessed. Left-back Junior Firpo (knee) is still out.

Sa, Ruddy, Ait-Nouri, Coady, Kilman, Boly, Marcal, Jonny, Mosquera, Gomes, Saiss, Neves, Moutinho, Dendoncker, Cundle, Podence, Trincao, Jimenez, Silva, Hwang, Chiquinho.
