Seven minutes after the restart in Fulham's defeat to Aston Villa, tough-tackling midfielder Joao Palhinha picked up his fifth Premier League yellow card of the season, thus ruling himself out of the visit of Wolves through suspension.
While Palhinha is an irreplaceable figure in the heart of the Cottagers' engine room, either Tom Cairney, Harrison Reed or Sasa Lukic will try to fill his boots on Monday, where Tosin Adarabioyo might be involved again following his groin problem.
Adama Traore has suffered a setback in his return from a hamstring injury while also Rodrigo Muniz (knee) and Issa Diop (foot) remain out.
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Leno; Tete, Bassey, Ream, Robinson; Iwobi, Cairney, Pereira; Decordova-Reid, Jimenez, Willian

Regarding current Wolves players, O'Neil has confirmed that the reborn Pedro Neto will still need a little longer to fully recover from his thigh injury, while Craig Dawson joins Palhinha in the one-match suspension club due to his own totting-up of yellow cards.
However, O'Neil is confident that Lemina (ankle) and Matt Doherty (hamstring) will shake off their concerns in time for the weekend, while Santiago Bueno is also expected to recover from an ankle problem and is primed to replace the banned Dawson for his first Premier League start.
Nelson Semedo will require a late fitness test due to his own foot injury, though, while Joe Hodge will not be back from his shoulder operation until the New Year.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
possible starting lineup:
Sa; Kilman, Toti, S. Bueno; Semedo, Lemina, Gomes, Bellegarde, Ait-Nouri; Sarabia, Cunha
