The Story in 60 Seconds

Fer Lopez has returned to the Wolverhampton Wanderers starting lineup for Saturday's match against Cardiff City at Molineux. The playmaker was previously an unused substitute due to a minor calf issue and replaces Jean-Ricner Bellegarde in the team, marking the only change made by head coach Cesar Peixoto from their prior victory.

Wolves were also boosted by Rodrigo Gomes returning to the bench following a four-game absence due to an ankle injury. Currently fourth in the Championship table, Wolves are aiming to extend a three-match unbeaten run despite uneasy fan sentiment that saw Peixoto booed during their recent 1-0 win against Watford.
