Wolves predicted lineup vs Chelsea Team News
Wolves are having to make do without striker Raul Jimenez for the foreseeable future because of a fractured skull sustained against Arsenal. The Mexican had featured in every league game for Wanderers since joining the club in the 2019 summer transfer window prior to the trip to Liverpool.
He was rushed into the local hospital and had a treatment for the head injury and over the weekend he was shifted home where his father said “We continue to be on the lookout because it’s something very difficult, but thanks to Raúl’s strength, he’s coming forward”
Nuno went without a recognised striker against Liverpool since then Daniel Podence has been playing as a centre forward. With Fabio Silva seen failing in that spot in their Villa loss Podence might feature in the centre spot against Chelsea.
The hosts must decide whether to go with a five-man defence or four, with Romain Saiss’s return from a coronavirus layoff possibly being a determining factor.
