π£οΈ Marcelo Bielsa on Raphinha: "The options that he has to participate in the game on Saturday depends on whether he plays this final [Brazil] game tonight, how many minutes he plays, how he finishes the game... [cont]"
π£οΈ Bielsa on Raphinha: "...after he has participated in it, how efficient the rest he can have in the next 36 hours is considering that a third of those will be spent flying, and if there's any risk that the fatigue could cause injuries, then we won't risk him."
π£οΈ Bielsa: "Koch is in the US where he will undergo a simple procedure to try and solve his problem in the pubis. Ayling is at the halfway stage of his process of recovery. Forshaw and Summerville are available again."

The Leipzig left wing-back has come into prominence since the team switched to 3 at the back and looks like capturing his past form. In the game against Bochum, he recorded 4 crosses, 1 shot, and created 1 big chance.

A home game against Hertha who have found difficulty scoring means a clean sheet is possible. With 0.6 xG there is a good chance of him getting more goals with Hertha Berlin having conceded 2 goals from corners (XGA for corners 1.9).
Wolverhampton Wanderers have one of the best runs of fixtures in the division from Gameweek 4 onwards, stretching right the way through to Gameweek 14.
For Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers who prioritise fixtures over form, and especially for those on a Wildcard, Wolvesβ defensive and attacking options are seriously worth considering.
Wolves sit top of our Season Ticker over the next 11 Gameweeks.
A manager losing their first three league matches in charge of a club is usually a cause for alarm but it doesnβt tell the full story here, as Bruno Lage has weirdly generated much optimism about his Wolves side after some well-rounded displays.
πΈ Trent Alexander-Arnold made it 7.75 points per match in his last 12 appearances with a double-digit haul against Burnley.
[1/8]
πΈ Kostas Tsimikas followed suit with an 11-point return but the presence of the fit-again Andrew Robertson on the Liverpool bench does perhaps signal that the budget defenderβs run in the side could be coming to an end.
[2/8]
πΈ Brentford and Liverpool are the only two sides with two Premier League clean sheets to their names so far this season. The Bees have allowed just one big chance in 2021/22 to date.
