    Mario Lemina has produced a U-turn at Wolves and is available for selection until his future is resolved.

    The midfielder asked to be left out of the squad for the mid-week 3-0 defeat at Newcastle, amid his desire to leave Molineux.

    Saudi Pro League side Al-Shabab want to sign the 31-year-old and have asked to take him for free, something Wolves are not entertaining.

    But Lemina apologised to Wolves boss Vitor Pereira on Friday morning and could now be included in the squad to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Monday.

    Pereira said: "Last time I came to the press conference I thought he was in for the game, then he asked me to be out of the game because mentally he wasn’t in condition.

    "Today he came to me, he asked to apologise to me and the team. He said he is ready to do his best for the team until we have a solution and decision.

    "This is the way he must behave. We are professional, the club play the salaries which means I should come here with energy to help until the last day."

    Crystal Palace

    Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner on defender Trevor Chalobah being recalled by Chelsea: "It was a little bit surprising that Trevor was called back by Chelsea, but it's very good for us that Chadi Riad is back.

    "We'll do something [business in the transfer window] if it makes sense, if we think we can't find the right player to achieve our goals then we won't do anything."

  5. 'I think it's more a team problem than a Rasmus problem'published at 14:30 Greenwich Mean Time

    Manchester United v Brighton (Sun, 14:00 GMT)

    Manchester United

    Finally, Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim on if he is worried about Rasmus Hojlund's lack of goals: "I think it's a team problem. You can see it, it's not just from now, it's from the past. So we have clearly a lack of goals and a lack of threat.

    "When you threaten the opponents, the opponents maybe don't press you so high. So everything is connected. All the players have moments in this season. I think when we started this journey together, Rasmus was the player that was always scoring. So he can come back in the next game, we will see. But I think it's more a team problem than a Rasmus problem."

  6. 'I want to keep all of my players'published at 14:26 Greenwich Mean Time

    Manchester United

    Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim on if he is concerned Manuel Ugarte is struggling to play back-to-back games: "The players will get used to that. I’m trying to be honest with you guys. I talk openly about the game. You are focused on what I said about Ugarte. Ugarte was tired because he did a great job against Liverpool.

    "If you look at the game against Arsenal, maybe Ugarte and Bruno [Fernandes] were the best players against Liverpool. They didn't play against Newcastle. I think that happens with all players in the Premier League. They can play, but they don't play the same way."

  8. Lerma 'not available' and 'question' on Sarrpublished at 14:19 Greenwich Mean Time

    West Ham v Crystal Palace (Sat, 15:00 GMT)

    Crystal Palace

    “It could’ve been that he’d [Lerma] be back today, but then he didn’t feel really well, so then we decided it makes no sense.

    “He felt a lack of power, and then we said, okay, we have to wait. We had to take him off after 20 minutes at Leicester and then he felt unwell, and this is what happened.”

    “We have got a little small question about Ismaila Sarr. He’s suffering a little bit with tightness in his hamstring, but we will take the final decision tomorrow.

    "Certainly gaining experience, looking at games he has played and those challenges. He has handled it really well.

    "I said from day one he is a very assured young man. From goalkeeping aspect, he has got all attributes we are looking for, he will be a good fit for us.
