Big return for Wolves man linked with move as Rob Edwards names 16-year-old in squad for Bournemouth clash

Rob Edwards and Wolves are looking to bounce back from defeat at City - and continue their upturn in home form.

Wolves are closing in on the Premier League low points record held by Derby County - and a victory over the Cherries would edge them level with the Rams.

It looks a foregone conclusion that they will get past that record now - and they have a chance to move closer at Molineux.

And Edwards has made three changes to his side - with one being a switch that Wolves fans have been calling for, for some weeks.

Ever since Rodrigo Gomes returned to the squad and was back in contention - fans have been calling for him to replace Jackson Tchatchoua, who has been one of a number of underwhelming summer signings.

And that has now happened with Gomes handed a first start for a number of months.

Elsewhere, Emmanuel Agbadou is back in for his first start since AFCON - amid strong reports linking him with a move to Besiktas.

That has now gone cold - with the defender back in to replace Ladislav Kerjci. In the other change, Tolo Arokodare is back in for Jhon Arias up front.

And elsewhere, 16-year-old England under 17 international Jerome Abbey has been handed a special moment as he is in the squad for the first time.

Wolves: Sa, R.Gomes, Mosquera, S.Bueno, Agbadou, H.Bueno, Andre, J.Gomes, Mane, Hwang, Arokodare.

Subs: Johnstone, Doherty, Lima, Tchatchoua, Wolfe, Bellegarde, Arias, Larsen, Abbet
