Wolves, who are second-bottom in the Premier League table, have appointed former Spain and Real Madrid boss Julen Lopetegui as the club’s new head coach but the 56-year-old will not start his role until Monday, November 14 and Davis remains in temporary charge.
Wolves already had six players injured for Saturday's defeat against the Seagulls and four of those in star men Pedro Neto (ankle) and Raul Jimenez (groin) plus even longer-term absentees Sasa Kalajdzic (knee) and Chiquinho (knee) are all definitely out.
Key pair Diego Costa and Nelson Semedo are both suspended for the midweek cup clash against the Whites following red cards in recent weeks. Spanish powerhouse striker Costa was dismissed for headbutting Ben Mee in the closing stages of last month's 1-1 draw at Brentford and serves the second game of a three-match ban against the Whites.
Wolves are on a poor run of form, having won just two of their 14 league matches this season. In the previous round of the cup, Wolves beat Championship side Preston North End 2-1 at Molineux.
The two sides have already met in the league this season, this was at ER way back in August. Leeds ran out 2-1 winners thanks to goals from Rodrigo and an own goal from Ryan Ait-Nouri.
As for Leeds team news - apparently the 'the players council wives' are still deciding on who'll be available for the game.
But Bamf is doubtful after a poor nights sleep due to his baby feeding & changing rosta duties.
Good stuff MT. You're my wing-woman....
'Person'. He/she/they.....(*rolls eyes*)
Pretty sure MT uses the correct pronoun.
Didn't see Bamf but maybe he's driving the bus.
