Rob Edwards says Wolves will be without goalkeeper Sam Johnstone at Leeds United, with a late decision to be made on Matt Doherty. Centre-back Yerson Mosquera is also out.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Mosquera collected his 10th booking, triggering a two-match suspension. The caution came in last weekend’s 4-0 defeat at West Ham.

Johnstone sustained a shoulder injury and Doherty suffered a knock before that game, and neither featured in the matchday squad. There had been suggestions Johnstone’s season may be over.

Edwards confirmed at Friday’s pre-Leeds press conference that Johnstone would not be available for Saturday’s trip to Elland Road, and that Doherty was pushing to be involved with a late call to be taken.

Elsewhere, Paraguayan winger Enso González has not appeared for the first team this season. He last played in February for the under-21s before a meniscus injury that required surgery, with an initial estimate of around two months out.
