Wolves vs Fulham Match Preview: Team News and Key Absences

Wolves host Fulham at Molineux Stadium, Wolverhampton, on 17 May 2026 in Premier League Regular Season - 37 action. Wolves sit 20th on 18 points with a goal difference of -41, while Fulham are 11th on 48 points and -6 goal difference.

Wolves Availability

Wolves face significant selection issues, particularly in goal.

• L. Chiwome (Knee Injury) is sidelined.
• E. Gonzalez (Knee Injury) is sidelined.
• S. Johnstone (Knock) is sidelined.
• J. Sa (Ankle Injury) is sidelined.

With both senior goalkeepers S. Johnstone and J. Sa unavailable, backup D. Bentley is expected to start, with academy options in reserve. The absences of young attacker E. Gonzalez and forward option L. Chiwome further thin an already low-scoring side that has managed just 25 league goals.

Fulham Availability

Fulham also travel with notable absentees.

• J. Andersen (Red Card) is sidelined.
• A. Iwobi (Injury) is sidelined.
• R. Jimenez (Suspended) is sidelined.
• R. Sessegnon (Hamstring Injury) is sidelined.

The suspension of centre-back J. Andersen weakens Fulham’s defensive core, while the loss of attacker R. Jimenez and midfielder A. Iwobi reduces their rotation options in the final third.

Impact Summary

Wolves, already struggling in attack, lose depth up front and stability in goal. Fulham’s main creative and scoring threat H. Wilson (10 goals, 6 assists) is available, preserving much of their attacking output despite the absences of R. Jimenez and A. Iwobi.
