Wolves boss Gary O'Neil has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game at home to Newcastle (16:30 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Mario [Lemina] and Rayan [Ait-Nouri] "haven't trained much" and there will be "late checks" to see if they are fit to face the Magpies.
Yerson [Mosquera] had cramp in both calves during the week and did not train fully on Friday but O'Neil confirmed "there's no injury'. The rest of the squad are "OK and in a decent spot".
O'Neil said "exciting young player" Carlos Forbs - who was signed on an initial season-long loan from Ajax - was introduced to the squad on Friday: "He has bundles of potential. He has good pedigree, has blistering pace and can play on both sides of the pitch."
On goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, who made his debut last time out against Nottingham Forest: "He's a good, solid guy and good for the group. He did well at Forest with a mature, calm performance. We thought it was important to improve that part of the squad - it could do with more competition."
O'Neil added on fellow keeper Jose Sa: "Jose will be here I'm sure and fight with Sam for that spot. Two excellent goalkeepers. He has his opportunity to fight for the place, the same as any other position."
On the challenge posed by Newcastle: "I know Eddie [Howe] well and he's done an excellent job. They have an abundance of quality and they will be a big test. Isak is one of the best number nines in the league."
O'Neil said his squad now has "much more depth": "It's easier with subs. I want us to be a team that's aggressive with subs and do what's best for the team. I'm excited. I'm pleased the window is done."
