How soon after the international break every injured Wolves player could return
Wolves have a handful of players out injured, and although the Premier League is paused to allow for a two-week international break, none will return until the end of the season.
The Old Gold haven’t had too much bad luck with injuries this season but the ones they have suffered have been lengthy setbacks.
Vitor Pereira will be without four Wolves first team players for the remainder of the season.
Leon Chiwome ruptured his anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL) at the start of the year and will miss the rest of the season as a result.
“Devastated to stay that I’ve ruptured my ACL and it will bring my season to an end just after coming back from injury,” Chiwome said at the time. “Thank you to all the support from everyone up until now. I will be back stronger and trust in God’s plan for me.”
He is not expected to return until next season, but after penning a new deal last summer extending until 2028, he is in no danger of leaving Molineux anytime soon.
Yerson Mosquera
Yerson Mosquera injured his medial collateral ligament (MCL) and ACL during a challenge against Aston Villa last September.
The defender has been sidelined ever since but there was some good news at the beginning of the year.
Mosquera confirmed his “recovery is going really well” at the end of January sparking speculation he will return in the summer.
Similar to Mosquera and Chiwone, Enso Gonzalez also suffered an ACL injury while on international duty at the 2024 Olympics with Paraguay.
The winger has been ruled out for nearly 12 months. However, Gonzalez is getting closer to making his Wolves return and will be expected to feature next season.
Sasa Kalajdzic
Sasa Kalajdzic suffered a serious knee injury last year while on loan with Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt.
Kalajdzic tore his ACL for the third time in February 2024 and has been ruled out ever since.
Speaking at the end of last year, the forward revealed he has hopes of returning before the end of the season. However, this is unlikely to happen after Kalajdzic was left out of Wolves’ Premier League squad.
His exact return remains unknown but it is possible he will leave the Old Gold in the summer.
The five players not good enough for Wolves, Vitor Pereira should sell them all in the summer
There are just nine Premier League games left before the end of the season and less than three months before the start of the summer transfer window.
Although the Old Gold could still be relegated, they’re in a great position to stay up.
Wolves’ recent 2-1 win over Southampton extended their lead over 18th and 19th-placed Ipswich and Leicester to nine points — a virtually insurmountable margin given the two side’s dire form.
However, now is not the time to get overly confident. Even though Wolves will likely be a Premier League team again next season, Vitor Pereira has a lot of work to do in the summer.
The Wolves manager needs to make several new signings, and, more crucially, sanction the departures of some key figures.
Molineux News has taken a look at five Wolves first team players who are not good enough to stay with the club beyond this season.
