Summary

- Key players are out due to groin and hamstring issues.
- The match kicks off at Molineux Stadium on January 10, 2026.

Wolves will host Shrewsbury Town at Molineux Stadium on Saturday, January 10, 2026, with kick-off set for 12:15 GMT. The home side aims to secure their place in the FA Cup fourth round while simultaneously extending their current three-match unbeaten run across all competitions. This fixture presents an opportunity for Wolves to overcome a history of league struggles with a confident cup performance.
Manager Rob Edwards is expected to rotate his squad for the FA Cup third-round tie, but a lengthy injury list remains a concern. Key absences include Rodrigo Gomes, Toti Gomes, and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde due to groin and hamstring problems. Backup goalkeeper Daniel Bentley is also unavailable with an ankle injury, paving the way for Sam Johnstone to start.
Despite the unavailable players, Wolves possess attacking options like Hwang Hee-chan and Jørgen Strand Larsen, who could trouble a Shrewsbury defense that has struggled in League Two. Young talents Ojinnaka and Chirewa might also feature, showcasing the team's recent improvements in defensive solidity. The match will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 1 and discovery+.
