Wolves Team News
Angel Gomes went off injured against Arsenal, but is fit and available. Toti Gomes is training with the team and could make the matchday squad. Hwang Hee-chan is unavailable but may return to training next week. Edwards had this to say at the pre-match press conference:
“Angel Gomes’ back has cleared up, and he’s available. There are a few others we have to check on. Toti could potentially be involved against Palace.”
