Chris Wilder did not name those concerned but said they were "touch and go" for Monday. One of the players could be club record signing Sander Berge after the midfielder was sent home from international duty with Norway last week after suffering a knee problem.
Summer recruits Aaron Ramsdale, Max Lowe, Jayden Bogle, Oliver Burke and Ethan Ampadu are all in contention, with goalkeeper Ramsdale set to start following the departure of Dean Henderson.
Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo is likely to include record buy Fabio Silva in his squad. The 18-year-old striker cost £35m when joining from Porto last week and fellow new signings Vitinha and Fernando Marcal are also expected to travel.
Jonny remains out after suffering a serious knee injury which will keep him out until next year.
