Wolves travel to North London on Saturday to face Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League.
Gary O'Neill's side hope to put last week's defeat to Brentford behind them but will have to do so without one of their key players. Matheus Cunha was forced off after just 20 minutes at Molineux, and it has emerged that he has a 'significant' injury. The Brazilian did play down reports though that he would be out for the rest of the campaign and said he would hope that he would return in a few weeks. Wolves never recovered from his departure as Christian Norgaard and Ivan Toney netted for the Bee's to consign them to a second defeat in three games.
Saturday's opponents Spurs were victorious last week as they came from behind to defeat Brighton & Hove Albion. Pascal Gross opened the scoring for the Seagulls from the spot but Pape Matar Sarr equalised on the hour mark. Wales international Brennan Johnson scored in the sixth minute of additional time to give Spurs their third win in five league games.
The visitors are hoping to complete a league double over Spurs after their win over them in November. Brennan Johnson opened the scoring in the third minute for the North London side but efforts from Pablo Sarabia and Mario Lemina in stoppage time saw the game completely turn on its head. Wolves' last win at Spurs came in February 2022 when they won 2-0 with Raul Jimenez and Leander Dendoncker on target for Bruno Lage's side.
Wolves have a good record against Spurs and have won three of their last four games against them, and have won in two of their last meetings. Spurs have neevr lost three consecutive league matches against Wolves before. Should Wolves complete a double over Spurs that would be their first since the 2009/10 season.
The injury lists aren't too big for either sides but there are still some key players out and unfortunately won't feature at the weekend. In the build-up to the match, Spurs are hosting an open training session. Here's the latest injury and team news ahead of kick-off on Saturday.
1. Matheus Cunha - out
Wolves attacker Matheus Cunha has suffered a significant hamstring injury. He was forced off against Brentford last weekend.
2. Matheus Cunha - out (continued)
Gary O'Neil said on February 14: "“It’s a fairly significant injury to his hamstring. “There’s no timeline on it. I’ve spoken to Matheus a lot and he just wants to keep pushing to get back as soon as he can. He’s started working on it already, so we’re just going to monitor it week by week, day by day, see how far he can come and how quickly we can get him back. He’s keen to get back out there as soon as possible."
3. Hwang Hee-chan - doubt
Didn't feature against Brentford last weekend after returning from the Asia Cup with South Korea.
