Fulham's only injury concern is with midfielder
Harrison Reed who is in need of surgery on his knee fter a training ground
injury and will be out for five or six weeks.
However Sasa Lukic is back in contention for the weekend, along with Carlos Vinicius.
Former Wolves striker Raul Jimenez and Andreas Pereira are set to return late from international duty after representing Mexico and Brazil respectively earlier this week, but the pair could still be in contention to start on Saturday.
Harry Wilson has scored three goals in his last two appearances as a substitute, while he also found the net on international duty with Wales on Tuesday, so he will be pushing to start on either flank ahead of either Reiss Nelson or Alex Iwobi.
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Pereira; Iwobi, Smith Rowe, Nelson; Jimenez

As for Wolves, they are still having to cope without long-term absentees Sasa Kalajdzic, Enso Gonzalez, Boubacar Traore and Yerson Mosquera as they all continue to recover from knee injuries.
Wolves made a request to the Uruguayan FA to recall Santiago Bueno earlier this month after the defender initially reported for international duty with a muscle injury; the 26-year-old will be assessed ahead of kickoff.
Hwang Hee-Chan will also be assessed after missing the last four games with an ankle ligament injury. However, even if the South Korean was passed fit to feature, he would not be expected to start in attack ahead of Cunha or Jorgen Strand Larsen.
Wolverhampton Wanderers possible starting lineup:
Sa; Bueno, Dawson, Toti; Semedo, Lemina, Gomes, Ait-Nouri; Sarabia, Cunha; Strand Larsen
