Tuesday's draw against AFC Bournemouth appears to have come at a price, with a quartet of starters from that game now doubtful for Monday's clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

And among those four are some of the first names on the teamsheet, including Cole Palmer, Levi Colwill, Enzo Fernandez, and Romeo Lavia. So that's our most important attacking player (and only consistent goalscorer), our only consensus first-choice center back, and our starting midfield duo (with Moises Caicedo deployed at right back on Tuesday). Not great!

"We have Cole who is a doubt, he was not in the session today. Levi was not in the session today, Enzo was not in the session today, Romeo was not in the session today. We have three or four players that are a doubt for Monday's game because in the last game they got some problems."

"Cole was the ankle. In the first-half, they kicked him. He didn't train today, we don't know if he is going to train tomorrow or in two days. The same situation for Romeo, Enzo and Levi."

While none of the injuries sound major — Palmer, Colwill, and Enzo all finished out Tuesday's game and Lavia's substitution was tactical — and Wolves are one of the worst teams in the Premier League, the last thing we need is injuries as we try to get out of this five-match winless run and get our top-four challenge back on track.
