Wolverhampton manager Rob Edwards addressed the media ahead of Saturday’s Premier League match against Leeds United at Elland Road (kick-off at 15:00 BST).

Here are the main points from his press conference:

Edwards shared that goalkeeper Sam Johnstone remains unavailable due to a shoulder injury, but Matt Doherty is close to returning after a few days of training, and a “late call” will be made regarding his fitness for the match.
He confirmed that the rest of the squad is fit and ready for the weekend encounter.
Regarding their recent 4-0 loss to West Ham, he remarked, “In this league, everyone has losses and drops points. The result was disappointing, but we can’t let it deter us.”
Edwards expressed confidence that his squad will continue to fight, stating that he is willing to field younger players if anyone is not fully committed.
On his goals for the rest of the season, he said: “Whether it’s on Fridays or Mondays, aside from the last match, we’ve shown our capabilities. We’ve secured significant victories and battled against tough teams. We aim to collect as many points as we can and maximize our potential.”
When asked about Leeds manager Daniel Farke, Edwards praised him, saying, “He’s an excellent manager and has done a superb job. Their performance levels have consistently been impressive, especially in the league.”
He further commended Leeds for their “aggressive, dynamic, and intense” style of play, anticipating a tough match.
On the away game atmosphere, he noted, “Elland Road always boasts an excellent atmosphere. They’ll be riding high after their recent result against Manchester United, so we expect a competitive game.
