Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo says several players, including Joao Moutinho, are doubts after suffering "small problems" on international duty.
Daniel Podence, who has been out for two months with a groin injury, will also be assessed.
Rui Patricio has been cleared to play after recovering from concussion.
West Ham boss David Moyes has reported a "few knocks and bruises" from his returning international players, though no serious problems.
Angelo Ogbonna and Andriy Yarmolenko remain out, while the Hammers will monitor the fitness of Arthur Masuaku, who played 75 minutes for the under-23s on 19 March, his first appearance since undergoing knee surgery in December.

West Ham are vying to complete a league double over Wolves for the first time since the 1922-23 season
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
West Ham's most recent win at Molineux was by 2-0 in a Premier League game in August 2009.
That is Wolves' only defeat in their past eight home league matches versus the Hammers (W5, D2).
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolves could go three consecutive Premier League matches without scoring for the first time in nine years.
Nuno Espirito Santo's side have scored the opening goal in just one of their last 19 top-flight games - that was an own goal by Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier.
They have netted first in a league-low seven fixtures this season but have won six of them and drawn the other.
All five of Ruben Neves' Premier League goals this season have come since the turn of the year - he is the only Wolves player to have scored more than once in 2021.
West Ham United
The Hammers have lost successive Premier League away games, as many defeats as in their previous 11 matches on the road (W6, D3).
A seventh away win of the season would equal the Hammers' club record in a Premier League campaign.
West Ham have won three of their four top-flight games played on Mondays this season.
Jesse Lingard has averaged a goal or assist every 88 minutes for West Ham this season, the best ratio by a Hammers player in a single Premier League campaign (with a minimum of 500 minutes).

back four or back five would have made little difference - The donk plays CM or CB in either formation he watched Messi Lingard dance past him

When we were talking some months ago about changing from a 3 to a 4 I said then that we dont have the goals in our forward play to justify it.
We are best as a defensive minded counter attacking team.

we carved out a lot of chances last night but if our spine wasn't so soft and we had more Italians/Argies/Germans in it that understand how to take a man out on halfway we'd have only conceded the 1 goal

One team outside the relegation places has scored fewer goals than us.

I fail to see how a different formation would have led to a different outcome in any of their goals last night? Can someone explain it to me?
The problem last night was really poor defending, not the way they were set up.

Reading about a weird bet placed on the game last night by a London punter. He had both teams to score in the first half, more than 3 goals in the game, and Neves, Dawson and Soucek all to be booked.
The win was clinched when Soucek was booked in the last minute. For a £25 stake he picked up £32,500
