On Friday, Eddie Howe giving these key updates.
Eddie Howe Wolves press conference – 12 September 2025:
“It is a huge game for us in our season.
“It has been a slow start in terms of results but I don’t think it has in terms of performances.
“We need to build momentum into our season very quickly.
“The level is so high and Wolves will be difficult.
“We need the supporters with us, as they have been in every moment.”
Eddie Howe on Yoane Wissa:
“Unfortunately he won’t make this game.
“I saw him for the first time yesterday and he’s feeling the effects of the injury sustained just before he came off [while on international duty].
“We’re going to have to see how he is.”
Eddie Howe on Nick Woltemade:
“He’s fine [for Wolves].
“He’s trained well and we’re really pleased with how he’s looked in the first couple of days.
“Big change for him, big opportunity for him. He’s got a great nature, a great character.
“He’s very calm and he’s gone straight into our training and not looked out of place.
“He’s shown his qualities. We’re really pleased with how he’s settled in.”
Eddie Howe on Jacob Ramsey:
“Jacob is our only other injury concern and he’ll miss the game.
“He’s suffered from that tackle against Leeds, his ankle swelled up at half-time and he had to come off.
“Unfortunately I think he’ll be missing until the next international break so that’s a big blow.”
Eddie Howe on Joelinton:
“Joe has trained.
“He’s been fit and available, he’s been out on the training pitch and is looking good.
“Really happy to welcome him back, such an important player.”
Eddie Howe on the appointment of David Hopkinson as CEO:
“We’ve had several conversations.
“He’s a great person, really great energy. He’s very, very positive.
“I think he’s a great appointment. It’s an appointment that was much needed, unfortunately with Darren’s illness which has left a big gap.
“David will come in and hopefully take the club off the pitch in a new direction.”
