History suggests Wolves will need around 92 points to secure an immediate Premier League return. But with their early-season form putting them right on the required pace, how realistic is automatic promotion, and who stands in their way?

Seven games played, 14 points collected and a place among the Championship’s early frontrunners.

It’s been an encouraging start for Wolves, particularly given the upheaval that inevitably follows relegation from the Premier League.

But while league positions in October can be misleading, there is one statistic that offers a far better indication of whether a team is heading in the right direction.

When Rafiki Said signed for Wolves in a £7.7million deal from Standard Liege, there was plenty of excitement about what the winger may offer.

Wolves fans have been starved of exciting wide players for some time, and Said’s addition came at a time when Wolves were enduring a slower transfer window.

But the 26-year-old suffered a frustrating MCL knee injury in a friendly at Maidenhead United on July 22, and he has not featured since.

The Comoros international is getting closer to a comeback and ahead of his Wolves debut, we spoke to Kevin Sauvage, a journalist for Sudinfo who covers Standard Liege, for the inside track on what the attacker could bring.

Mateus Mane has had an incredible rise into the Wolves first team, but he may never have worn the club’s colours if not for a remarkable moment of fate.

The teenager made his senior debut off the bench on May 10, 2025, under Vitor Pereira and he was backed to do big things, but found his opportunities under the Portuguese coach hard to come by.

Despite that, he signed his first professional deal that summer at the age of 17, which was then extended when he turned 18 in September 2025, meaning he has a contract with Wolves until 2029.

It was not until Rob Edwards was appointed last season that Mane was given a chance to shine and in a campaign that ended in a disastrous relegation, Mane’s performances were one of few bright lights.

It is understood Mane, alongside a number of members of the squad, were surprised by Edwards’ sacking this summer - but Wolves have since gone on to have a good start to the Championship season under new boss Cesar Peixoto and Mane has been a regular starter in that time.

Michal Zyro only played 10 times for Wolves’ first team, but is still remembered fondly by supporters for his blistering start to life in old gold.

The Polish international arrived in January 2016 from Legia Warsaw and scored three times in his first two Championship games.

But disaster struck in April that year when MK Dons’ Antony Kay’s horror tackle meant Zyro suffered a catastrophic knee injury that he never truly recovered from.

After a loan spell at Charlton, the attacker eventually left Wolves in 2019 and spent the rest of his career in Poland.

Now, the former Wolves man has spoken to Inside Wolves 10 years on from that injury.

Jordan James believes he is ‘completely different’ to Marshall Munetsi and he welcomes the competition in Wolves’ midfield.

The Welsh international arrived from French club Rennes on loan this summer, with an option to buy, and he scored in his first Molineux appearance for Wolves.

James has yet to start for the club in the Championship, however, with Munetsi ahead of him in that number eight position.

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde admits he needs time to get up to speed in the Championship but hopes to make an impact for Wolves this season.

The midfielder suffered a hamstring injury following the World Cup, which kept him sidelined for the whole of pre-season, before he eventually made his return in the Carabao Cup against Everton.

Bellegarde also stepped off the bench against West Brom in the Black Country derby and on international duty with Haiti he has played in both of their games so far, starting and scoring against Costa Rica on Monday.

Cesar Peixoto admits he spoke to Haiti boss David Badia to urge caution with Bellegarde, and the player himself admits patience will be needed as he adapts to life in the Championship.

“He’s (Peixoto) helped me come back in time and now I need to keep going for the team,” Bellegarde told Inside Wolves.

In Sean Neave, Wolves signed an unproven, largely unknown, but clearly talented player.

It was an unexpected deadline day signing but the 19-year-old went on to enjoy an impressive first start against Everton in the Carabao Cup.

For more insight into Neave and his development at his parent club, Inside Wolves has spoken to Newcastle United reporter for Chronicle Live, Sean McCormick.

A total of 10 Wolves players have been selected to represent their countries during the international break.

This season, the September and October breaks have been merged into one three-week break, meaning Wolves do not play again until October 10 when they travel to play Middlesbrough.

But which Wolves players have been called up?

Jordan James

The midfielder is back in the Wales squad after injury ruled him out of the last call-up.

Wales will face trips to play Portugal and Denmark, before then welcoming Norway and Denmark to the Cardiff City Stadium.

Interestingly, Portugal’s side is without a Wolves player for the first time since 2018.

Ladislav Krejci

Krejci is in Nations League action with the Czech Republic, where he will captain his country against Croatia and Spain as well as a double-header with England.

The second game against England is at Wembley on October 6.

Krejci missed Wolves’ Black Country derby win over Albion due to a calf problem and head coach Cesar Peixoto implied after the game that the player ruled himself out of the game.

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde

Bellegarde has recently returned to action for Wolves following a hamstring injury and will feature for Haiti against Trinidad and Tobago, Dominican Rebublic and twice against Costa Rica in CONCACAF Nations League games.

It is understood Peixoto spoke with Haiti boss David Badia to request they are cautious with Bellegarde to avoid any further injury.

Nasser Djiga

Centre-back Djiga has been called up by Burkina Fasa for their AFCON qualifiers against Benin and Central African Republic.

They will also play a friendly in Argentina, while fellow Wolves man Bertrand Traore has missed out on selection.

Marshall Munetsi & Tawanda Chirewa

Wolves team-mates Munetsi and Chirewa have both been selected by Zimbabwe for their AFCON matches against Sierra Leone and DR Congo.

Ghislain Konan

New signing Konan will feature for Ivory Coast when they play Ghana and Somalia in their AFCON qualifiers, including a friendly against Jackson Tchatchoua’s Cameroon.

Jackson Tchatchoua

Tchatchoua captained Cameroon last time out and has been called up again for a friendly against Ivory Coast and qualifying matches against Comoros and Congo.

Rafiki Said has not been called up by Comoros due to injury.

Fer Lopez

Wolves top goalscorer Lopez has been called up by Spain under-21s as they take on Finland, San Marino and Romania in Euro U21 qualifiers.

Mateus Mane

The attacker has previously featured for Portugal under-21s, choosing them over England, and this time he has been selected for Portugal under-20s.

They face Poland, Switzerland and Czechia in the UEFA Elite League.

Derby day will always bring new memories, and Wolves are hoping to create some positive ones on Sunday afternoon.

The club has had some great days against West Brom - although the head-to-head statistics of late make for grim reading, and there have been some days to forget.

At Inside Wolves, we asked our subscribers to tell us their favourite and worst derby day memories from a lifetime of supporting the club.

Bertrand Traore has had a fascinating career to date.

The Burkina Faso international has been there and done it at the highest level, and also endured difficult moments and injury worries.

But what was his journey to becoming a Wolves player?

As the transfer window came to an end, Wolves made a change at left-back.

David Moller Wolfe was keen to play and would have struggled to get into the team regularly ahead of Hugo Bueno, resulting in a deadline day loan switch to Hamburg, who also have a £12.5million option to buy him permanently.

As exclusively revealed by Inside Wolves late on Tuesday night, Wolves had agreed a deal to sign free agent Ghislain Konan as their new left-back and he was then publicly unveiled by the club on Wednesday evening.

When making a decision on his next club, Jordan James had a plethora of options.

The 22-year-old has just come off an incredibly successful personal 2025/26 season - despite relegation from the Championship on loan at Leicester - as he scored 11 goals from midfield in 34 matches.
