Club confirmed Trippier has an MCL injury similar to Saids but less severe so out for 4-6 weeks. Yerson has ankle ligament damage but not as bad as first feared but out for at least 6 weeks.
Said responding well as is Bellegarde but both out for a few more weeks.
Johnstone is now considered fit after his shoulder op so maybe ready to move on now.
20 Aug 2026 01:03:29.
In response to the poster who asked about Trippier being injured.
Rumours are circulating he is out for 4 - 6 weeks.
20 Aug 2026 08:33:10
How did it happen?
20 Aug 2026 08:46:20
Presumably in the last game, which is why he came off and had his head in his hands, not because he was in despair over joining us after all.
Does make you question the training methods, with so many injuries so early in the season.
20 Aug 2026 09:01:34
That's Tchatchoua at rb for the foreseeable then. That's gonna be fun.
20 Aug 2026 09:55:35
He's got the pace, but the defence is awful. We need a replacement if Trippier is out.
20 Aug 2026 11:10:37
Pedro Lima and Tchatchoua will have to earn their stripes for the next few weeks then.
20 Aug 2026 11:36:29
I'm not sure, Goat, if he was watching the same game I was then, I think it was likely a bit of both. 😂
As for the injury, I'm afraid this is the problem with signing older players, who have always been quite injury prone. Don't get me wrong, it's still a good signing, but it's not enough to carry a team, which, at the time of writing, very much feels like that was the hope.
Also, as others have said, questions have to be asked. Two MCL injuries in two matches, at this rate we will run out of players by Easter. 😕
19 Aug 2026 22:04:07
Jordan James is through the door at Wolves after completing his medical today - loan with an option to buy. Final deal is £1.5m loan fee with a £10m option.
19 Aug 2026 22:16:31
£10mil in total including the loan fee. Keen put up wrong post lol.
So, £1.5mil loan fee, then £8.5mil optional purchase.
19 Aug 2026 20:45:05
H Bueno to Atletico Madrid linked.
19 Aug 2026 22:04:30
Yes, he is, mate. Ipswich are looking at him too.
19 Aug 2026 22:15:46
Any idea on the fee?
As he is homegrown he will surely have to be replaced with another HG somewhere in the squad - or is that James?
Does anyone know if Trippier is out long term as well as some are saying on sites?
Gather Yerson is very long term - months not weeks?
Does anyone know if that is true?
19 Aug 2026 23:38:30
Trippier, I don't know, mate. Yerson looks like he's out for the season.
Fee on H. Bueno no idea, but thought to be north of £30million.
20 Aug 2026 00:04:28
Rated RKO, figures being banded around are circa £15m - Atletico Madrid. Hugo is one of two under consideration.
Harry Amass, 19-year-old from Man Utd, available for £7m, has been suggested as his replacement. Man Utd are looking to move him on due to a lack of opportunity at Old Trafford.
20 Aug 2026 03:07:42
Be disappointed if it's only £15million, mate, but it wouldn't surprise me either.
Amass is pretty decent, so wouldn't mind him as a replacement.
20 Aug 2026 07:35:55
Spend some extra cash and bring back Ait-Nouri.
20 Aug 2026 09:34:58
Atletico Madrid are preferring Jorge Salinas (Racing Santander) as the other candidate for the left-back position, so Hugo Bueno may not be leaving. Man Utd are said to be considering Salinas as well. £15m being talked about is ridiculous. We need to keep HB.
20 Aug 2026 11:27:25
Transfer feed reporting, if Hugo Bueno was to leave, Wolves would bid £7 million for Harry Amass.
19 Aug 2026 18:00:49
To be honest, I just wish Wolves would get a new CH a Striker plus get rid of the deadwood. I would also like another MF but wishfull thinking. Get rid of Whang, Hoevear, Sasa and any one else. Wolves have the funds to get deals over the line but Fuson are saying you only have this.
From Jan transfer window to now Wolves have 73mill of transfers plus 35mill off Gomes sale plus 49 mill parachute pamyment. Then there's 20mill from MU for Cuhna near 180mill incomings. Yet net spend not a lot if I'm right maybe someone put me right.
19 Aug 2026 19:50:13
Dmac, the parachute payment has almost certainly gone.
A while ago Wolves borrowed £100m against the TV money.
Presumably it was originally intended that the principal wouldn't have to be repaid anytime soon, as the lender would always be happy to roll over against next year's money.
Sadly, after relegation, there is no next year's TV money.
The only TV money this year is the parachute payment and a few bob for being on the telly in the Championship.
The lender is, therefore, going to want their money back.
I imagine the parachute payment and either the Gomes or JSL sales are needed to make that repayment.
The idea that Wolves are a rich club in the Championship is laughable.
The club loses money at an astonishing rate, circa £128m in the last set of (albeit 13-month) accounts, and has huge net debt, both to banks, other clubs and Fosun.
So, not only are they not rich - remember the money you mention is being used not just to pay back debts but also to cover the operating losses - but are also massively hamstrung by the new SCR rules.
From the latest information in the 2025 accounts, it seems these will bite hard on Wolves this year, and, unless promotion is achieved this season, will be almost impossible to deal with next season.
Consequently, this is a 1-year window, not just from Trippier, Andre and Raul - who probably will all be done/gone by next year - but also SCR.
Wolves almost certainly have to go up this year or face a very very troubled time.
19 Aug 2026 20:29:50
I'd add GK to that too, Dmac, mate.
19 Aug 2026 21:28:37
Looks like we will be facing a very, very troubled time then.
Fosun clearly are bothered.
I haven't felt this despondent about our beloved club since... 🤔 ... last year.
I can't see us going up if we don't get at least two, preferably three decent players in before the end of the transfer window...
so basically I can't see us going up.
Hopefully they'll prove me wrong. After all this time last year I got it wrong when I predicted we would finish 19th, so it shows how much I know.
20 Aug 2026 06:15:47
Thank you for that, tfiog. Rated, never put GK because unless they sell Sasa or Johnstone, Wolves won't buy.
19 Aug 2026 15:07:44
I think the club are keeping Mosquera injury quiet as to not alert teams; we have a desperate need for a cb. If they do, the selling club will add price on knowing we need their player.
19 Aug 2026 16:31:03
Hopefully, Santi Beuno goes and we get a good lump of money for him, and we should spend some cash and bring in a quality CB.
19 Aug 2026 16:44:45
I think the problem is that we aren't desperate for a CB in terms of numbers. Even with Mosquera out, we would have four cbs. The problem is only one of them is actually any good, and he likely wants to leave. Thanks, Fosun. 😂
19 Aug 2026 13:25:45
See guys Jordan James is coming just like both me and exwolves said he was.
Loan with option to buy.
Keen has just confirmed it.
19 Aug 2026 14:23:31
Let's hope he can perform well enough for us to buy him.
19 Aug 2026 14:42:52
Rated, what do you mean, Exwolves! It was me that broke the news weeks ago!!!
19 Aug 2026 16:01:37
Wolfoftheeast, wherever you have come from, I don't know, who your sources are, I don't know, but to be fair, since I have seen you post on this site, you have been early and usually accurate, so have gained my trust with your rumours. I also agree you posted about James first.
19 Aug 2026 16:19:57
I said before in a post, Wolfoftheeast, credit goes to you first mate.
19 Aug 2026 16:50:08
Nice one, ExWolves, your rumours are always spot on. Just need the medical to go thru. 👍🏻
19 Aug 2026 20:39:22
Wolf has been calling it for ages. Clearly ITK and a genuinely good source. Fair play.
19 Aug 2026 21:27:02
ExWolves called it 4 weeks ago.
19 Aug 2026 09:13:15
Transferfeed is saying a French newspaper saying Jordan James will join Wolves on loan. With an obligation to buy for 10mill as long as a PL club doesn't intervene. They need to hurry up.
19 Aug 2026 10:15:21
How true are these claims, Wolves haven't posted anything about it nor have sky sports been reporting on this.
19 Aug 2026 10:34:06
JDWolves06, it's true, it's starting to get reported by different sources. It will be on Sky Sports soon.
19 Aug 2026 10:58:15
If L'Equipe says Jordan James is a done deal, it's a done deal. L'Equipe is one of the finest newspapers in Europe. I don't think they're too interested in clickbait bu****it.
19 Aug 2026 11:39:34
Express are saying it's an option to buy, but either way, deal is done. Now go out and sort the CB and winger we need, and they could still save this window!. 👍
19 Aug 2026 11:56:09
One or 2 more will come in, hopefully, to bolster the squad and improve what we have. I think the delays have been mostly down to the WC delaying players coming back, and trying to offload one or 2 in our squad. It's going to be a long season, and there will be many ups and downs, so hang on for the ride.
19 Aug 2026 12:41:26
Jordan James now having medical. Source: Sky Sports.
19 Aug 2026 17:23:43
Well done Wolves.
Incredibly a loan with an option?
That is the best of both worlds.
I criticise a lot, but if this comes true it is a very good piece of recruitment work.
Assuming, of course, the player is as good as we all hope he is.
If he isn't, however, all you have wasted is the loan fee and (whatever percentage Wolves are paying of) his wages.
Announce Sa and Krejci are happily staying, and then it is tickling round the edges to get a few options and depth, and sell off the deadwood to leave space for new players and headroom under SCR.
19 Aug 2026 06:39:49
Do we have any updates about Jordan James? I saw we were in advanced talks with Rens and offered £10 million for him. But apart from that I haven't seen much. Do you guys have any updates?
19 Aug 2026 07:13:47
JDWolves06, nobody on here knows. Many think they do.
19 Aug 2026 09:53:47
Sevlow1967, cutting but extremely true.
19 Aug 2026 12:09:13
Express and Star are saying Jordan James is having a medical today.
19 Aug 2026 12:13:01
In fairness, it seems a few do know what they're talking about. James' deal agreed and medical booked.
19 Aug 2026 12:52:18
Exactly, TG. The reason it took so long was to structure a loan deal. Seems we've got a good deal in place.
18 Aug 2026 21:11:58
I just saw a post online linking Zaha (free agent) to Wolves, West
Ham and Birmingham City. I mean the guy is 34 years old. He might be ok, and given the current state of affairs, he looks like the most Fosun like signing.
19 Aug 2026 08:20:42
If Wolves sign Wilfried Zaha, I'm done with the club. I can't put myself through another moment of Wolves under the ownership of Fosun.
18 Aug 2026 21:06:53
Why are we looking at Duberry? Seriously guys, he was League 1 with Bolton last season. There is no ambition with Fosun and they are stripping the assets. I agree with others, Trippier and Jimenez were to get fans on board and to sell tickets.
I don’t agree with sacking the manager, but even Pep wouldn’t be able to take this team forward. Silence from Fosun and signings like they promised us loyal fans.
19 Aug 2026 08:27:46
Totally agree re Raul and Tripps. Also feel the same about the actual Old Gold strip. They asked themselves what could they do as quick, easy wins to get supporters onside again.
Since then, we've spent £5m on some unknown kiddie who's already injured. Making money from selling the family jewels and not spending it... No change there.
19 Aug 2026 08:31:04
I don't think the fans are going to be loyal for much longer. If Fosun don't sort the Wolves team out before the end of the August window, and Wolves get a couple of key defeats, I think it will be the end of the road for them.
Sacking Rob so late, but then sacking him almost immediately after bringing in Trippier and Raul, shows how clueless Fosun are.
Fosun are conning the fans, but are doing just enough to make sure there isn't a revolt. However, I think, for some time, they've been backing themselves into a corner from which even Houdini couldn't escape.
19 Aug 2026 08:36:25
Many Wolves fans are fed up with Fosun. Fosun knows this. Let's see what happens if a poorly assembled Championship squad is beaten in September at the Molineux by the Baggies. It could easily happen.
Personally, I think Fosun are sinking and they won't be Wolves' owners for much longer. Too many fans are turning on them.
19 Aug 2026 11:08:57
Duberry might have been in l1 last season, but he was one of the best players in the league, so is not a bad backup option. I think he certainly has a high ceiling if we could sign him permanently.
