West Ham v Wolves early injury news as 4 out and 1 doubt

Wolves and West Ham clash at the London Stadium in the Premier League on Monday, December 9 with the pressure mounting on both managers.

Gary O'Neil and Julien Lopetegui both oversaw midweek defeats, and there was much talk about their futures. For now, both are still in their position, and so this will be the first time that that O'Neil faces the man he replaced when he took on the job at Molineux in the summer of 2023.

West Ham played on Tuesday and Wolves on Wednesday, and so the hosts may be the fresher of the two. With the game being played on Monday, it allows for any players for any knocks and niggles to recover.

Here’s the latest injury and team news prior to the game on Monday. Gary O’Neil has already conducted his pre-match press conference.

Wolves team news

Yerson Mosquera, Enso Gonzalez, and Sasa Kalajdzic are all long-term absentees. The trio have knee injuries with Kalajdzic the closer to returning out of all of them.

Gonzalez suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury at the Olympic Games in July whilst Mosquera suffered his against Aston Villa in September. Kalajdzic was out on loan at Eintracht Frankfurt when he got his injury, but could return in the New Year.

Boubacar Traore is another absentee. He had a procedure to repair his knee and was ruled out until Christmas. The game comes too soon for him to return, but he might come back in the coming weeks.

Out: Yerson Mosquera, Enso Gonzalez, Sasa Kalajdzic, and Boubacar Traore.
