Everton v Wolves: Who's out and who's a doubt

Wolves finally got their first win last time out and return to action with a midweek trip to Everton.

Rob Edwards could be without several players as injuries mount up, but who could miss the visit to Merseyside?

Hwang Hee-chan - 75% chance

The forward shone against West Ham with a goal and an assist in a strong display, before coming off in the second half with a calf knock.

But the head coach was able to offer a positive update on his condition and that of Joao Gomes.

When asked about Hwang and J.Gomes, Edwards said: "Those two guys were out there in training today, which was good, so we're hoping they will be all right.

"We're not going to get anyone else back that was missing, but people are progressing on time. They won't be right for this midweek game."

Joao Gomes - 75% chance

J.Gomes was forced off at half-time against the Hammers with a groin issue but looks set to be involved against Everton.

Rodrigo Gomes - 0% chance

The 22-year-old has not featured since the end of October after having surgery on a groin injury.

Last week head coach Edwards said the player was closing in on a return in the next 'couple of games', and he did not feature at the weekend.

He won't make it for the Everton game but could be involved against Shrewsbury Town in the FA Cup at the weekend.

Edwards said: "Rodrigo is progressing very, very well.

"He has a chance to be in the squad at the weekend, so that's good. He trained fully today."

Toti Gomes - 0% chance

The club captain has not played since December 13 after picking up a hamstring injury and is not close to returning.

"Toti is still not on the grass yet and will be out for a longer period of time, but he's progressing as we'd expect," Edwards said.

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde - 0% chance

Bellegarde was on a good run of performances until he went down against Manchester United with a hamstring injury on December 8.

His absence is similar to that of Toti and Edwards added: "JJ should be slightly before Toti."

Marshall Munetsi - 0% chance

Munetsi was an 85th minute substitute against Nottingham Forest on December 3, but he did not finish the came after picking up a calf knock, and he has not played since.

"Marshall is out on the grass and training separately at the moment," Edwards said.

"He's doing nicely and is still a couple of weeks away.

"He'll have me saying that he's ready now because he believes he's Superman, and that is a bit of a superpower for him, but he's progressing well."

Emmanuel Agbadou - 0% chance

Agbadou has been unavailable for more than three weeks as he represents the Ivory Coast at the Africa Cup of Nations.

The defender played 90 minutes in the final group game and his country are now in the round of 16, where they face Burkina Faso tonight (Tuesday).

He will not be available for Wolves until his country are eliminated, or the tournament comes to an end.
