Wolverhampton Wanderers could be without as many as five players when they visit Everton on Boxing Day.
New boss Julen Lopetegui will take charge of Wolves for the first time in the Premier League when he brings the rock-bottom side to Goodison Park on Monday, looking for a change in fortunes.
But he will have to do it without Pedro Neto, Chiquinho and Sasa Kalajdzic, who are all sidelined with injuries. Lopetegui's problems don't end there, however. The Spaniard will run late fitness checks on defender Jonny Castro Otto and midfielder Boubacar Traore but he remains hopeful that the pair can be involved in the match at Goodison, despite both missing the midweek EFL Cup clash against Gillingham.
