Trains, hopeful to face Fulham
Sa (ankle) is training but needs to wait another week for his return, according to manager Rob Edwards. "Sa's, getting back to it, he won't be involved quite yet, but we're hopeful again for next week. He was around the training today, so that was a positive as well."
Analysis: Sa is set to miss another match despite a boost in fitness this week, as he will instead eye the Fulham match for a return. This would leave the goalie fit for the final two games of the season ahead of the club's relegation. Once fit, the keeper should reclaim his starting role between the posts, sending Daniel Bentley back to the bench.
Dealing with ankle injury
Sa won't be available for Saturday's game against Sunderland due to an ankle injury, according to manager Rob Edwards. "Sa is a slight doubt again, but not with the issue that he had on his shoulder and his back, it's more his ankle, so we're going to try and get that right. There's a chance that he misses potentially the next game or two, because we're really keen to try and get that right. He's been playing through quite a bit of pain for a while now, so I think it's the right thing to do."
Analysis: Sa had been dealing with shoulder and back injuries, but now he'll sit out Saturday's game due to a lingering ankle problem. The Wolves will allow the Portuguese goalkeeper to recover properly since they don't have anything to play for in the final weeks of the season. That said, with both Sa and Sam Johnstone (shoulder) out, it seems Daniel Bentley should get the nod, with an Academy goalkeeper operating as the backup.
