Wolves vs Chelsea: Date, Time, Team News and Injury Update, Prediction...


Chelsea will be hoping to carry their momentum from their 2-0 win over Servette in midweek over to this weekend, as they look to secure Enzo Maresca's first Premier League victory as Blues manager against Wolves, at the Molineux on Sunday evening, 25th August, 2025, 15:00 UK time.


Gary O'Neil's side have won their last three Premier League games against Chelsea though, the same amount as they had done in their previous 17 meetings. The Blues have also failed to keep a clean sheet on the road in their last 16 matches, their longest run in the league since 1994.


There is some good news for Chelsea though, with new signing Joao Felix set to play this weekend after he arrived on a seven-year deal from Atletico Madrid earlier this week. But what other stars will be available for the clash and who will miss out?


Cole Palmer


The Chelsea star was spotted hobbling straight down the tunnel in midweek after coming on as a substitute in the second half of Chelsea's Europa Conference League Playoff first leg win over Servette. Maresca cleared the air about the concern and it may mean he comes off the bench again if the Italian doesn't want to risk him aggravating the issue.


Injury: Knock.


What Maresca has said: "Cole, he felt something but he looks fine. They have already checked him. He looks fine, he is okay. Hopefully there is no problem and he can be involved in Sunday's game."


Possible return date: Wolves (A) - August 25.


Marc Cucurella


Cucurella was forced off in the Blues' season opener against Man City with what appeared to be a knee injury as he was seen clutching his leg grimacing. His teammates immediately looked towards the bench and signalled that the Spain international needed to come off and Maresca turned towards his options on the bench.


After being replaced by Renato Veiga, Cucurella was spotted walking on his own around the side of the pitch back towards the bench seemingly in some discomfort. He was an unused substitute against Servette, meaning Maresca is likely keeping him fresh for this weekend's clash.


Injury: Unknown.


Possible return date: Wolves (A) - August 25.


Reece James


According to The Athletic, Reece James has suffered a setback in training. It is described as being a small injury but Chelsea will nonetheless be wary of rushing back their captain after such a poor fitness record over two years.


James is not available for the first game of the season against Manchester City anyway due to a ban. He was seen hobbling down the tunnel in America on pre- season after being taken off.


The 24-year-old had hamstring surgery last season before returning for the final few months. James could be out until after the first international break of the season.


Injury: Hamstring.


What James has said: "


Good to be back on the grass."


What Maresca has said: "It depends on the injury because sometimes, if it's a kick, it's not because training is no good, it's an unlucky kick and you got injured. The only thing I can say, and I wasn't here last year, is that in one month, we have had just one injury problem which is Reece.


"Unfortunately, he got an injury two or three minutes before we were going to change him, otherwise we would have avoided it. That can happen. Sometimes injuries can be because of different things, but we are managing the situation well."


Possible return date: Bournemouth (A) - September 14.

Carney Chukwuemeka


The midfielder was another left out of Maresca's matchday squad against City on Sunday afternoon but he's not believed to be injured as Maresca noted in his post-match press conference. If he does not move elsewhere before the end of the transfer window he could, presumably, be reintegrated back into the first- team fold.


Injury: Unknown.


What Maresca has said: "Carney [Chukwuemeka] is a technical decision."


Possible return date: Crystal Palace (H) - September 1.

Todd Boehly took over the course of Chelsea’s ownership two years ago. According to reports from close sources, Chelsea have been rumored to return to their former owner, as more decisions are yet to be finalized. Former Russia striker Dmitry Bulykin has told Chelsea they need to get Roman Abramovich back to the club. According to him, the Blues can’t win another trophy unless they allow his countryman to buy back the club.

The government agreed to allow Abramovich to sell Chelsea in 2022 even though he was under sanctions as one of seven Russian “pro-Kremlin” oligarchs, on the co

Enzo Maresca has been looking into how to get a perfect squad ahead of the season, as he is set to revenge the 0-2 defeat of the Premier League kick-off against Wolves in the upcoming game. Meanwhile, a lot of options have been listed with recent evidence, signifying that Chelsea could get a deal done possibly before the window shuts down. Chelsea look to have gained a Victor Osimhen transfer advantage following Napoli’s 3-0 Serie A defeat to Verona at the weekend. The Blues have already held talks over the potential loan signing of Osimhen, with Romelu Lukaku heading the other way, though the Italian club remains keen on him sealing a permanent exit. The Nigeria international, despite reporting to pre-season training, was left out of the Napoli squad for a friendly against Girona, with that decision repeated in the Coppa Italia victory over Modena.

DONE DEAL: Joao Felix has now returned to Chelsea after saying yes to a deal bid of £56 million offered by Chelsea. Chelsea have reunited in their pursuit of Joao Felix to further bolster Enzo Maresca’s attacking prowess this season, with a lot of speculation going on between the two clubs. According to reports from the Athletic, Chelsea could sign the young star, but it remains to be seen if his would fit Enzo Maresca’s style of play. Joao Felix feels like a luxury. That is the sort of player he is and with Chelsea’s current options in attack, adding him in the next couple of weeks would fit the description of that word. There is no denying Felix’s talent. It is simply extraordinary. But there are doubts whether he will fit into the system under Enzo Maresca at Stamford Bridge. The 24-year-old is one of those players that can be used sort of anywhere on the front line. A Swiss Army knife. This is the sort of player Maresca wants at the club,

Personal terms agreed: Man United agree £94.2m transfer fee to sign superstar as player arrives in Manchester to sign five-years transfer deal

Image
Man United have agreed £94.2m terms in fee and wages to sign De Ligt from Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window, as per reports. The Dutch international had already agreed on a contract that will make him earn £200,000 a week, £52m in the next five years. However, the Red Devils were stalling on reaching an agreement over the fee and were not prepared to meet the asking price of 50 million euros, £42.2m. Now, Man Utd have agreed the exact fee with Bayern Munich to finally sign Matthijs de Ligt. The Old Trafford outfit had a habit of paying over the odds to secure signings and supporters expected that to change under the ownership of Jim Ratcliffe. In all fairness, taking into consideration the transfer business in this summer transfer window, nothing has changed. Man Utd paid more than the release clause set by Bologna to sign Joshua Zirkzee from the Italian club. Moreover, the 20-time English champions paid 70 million euros for an unproven youngster in the form of Leny Yoro, who

Manchester United Possible Signing This January

Image
Manchester United Possible Signing This January The January transfer window is approaching, and Manchester United has been linked with several potential signings. These include Joao Felix, Alvaro Morata, Goncalo Ramos, Dusan Vlahovic, and Jordan Pickford. Here's an overview of these rumored signings and their likelihood of happening: Joao Felix – Atletico Madrid: Joao Felix has had a falling out with Atletico Madrid and has not been pleased at the club. United is looking for a forward after Cristiano Ronaldo's departure, and Felix's technical play is appealing. The 23-year-old is also on the radar of other clubs like Arsenal and Chelsea. Likelihood: 7/10 – Loan with an option to buy. Alvaro Morata – Atletico Madrid: If Joao Felix doesn't join United, Alvaro Morata from Atletico Madrid is another option. Morata struggled at Atletico but performed well for Spain at the World Cup. Morata or Felix may sign a loan agreement with the possibility of a permanent transfer. Likel
