Joao Moutinho could feature for Wolves when they face Brighton in the Premier League on Sunday lunchtime.
The veteran midfielder has been out since mid-April with an ankle complaint but has returned to full training.
Defender Willy Boly will not return before next weekend’s meeting with Tottenham after suffering long-term effects of Covid-19.
Brighton boss Graham Potter has no fresh selection concerns but Seagulls midfielder Adam Lallana is unlikely to return.
Lallana, who missed last weekend’s 2-0 win over Leeds due to a calf issue, is not expected to be available until next weekend’s clash with West Ham.
Albion remain without Tariq Lamptey (hamstring) and Solly March (knee).
Wolves provisional squad: Patricio, Ruddy, Hoever, Ait-Nouri, Coady, Semedo, Saiss, Kilman, Richards, Lonwijk, Corbeanu, Neves, Gibbs-White, Vitinha, Moutinho, Dendoncker, Otasowie, Cundle, Podence, Jose, Silva, Traore.
