Available after AFCON

Agbadou is available going forward after featuring once for Ivory Coast in AFCON. According to manager Rob Edwards, "They're here and they're committed. We'll treat everything on an individual basis."

Analysis: Agbadou was a regular starter prior to AFCON, starting almost every match in which he was healthy. However, he's been in rumors to leave Wolves during this window, which would imply he won't be starting following his return. Nevertheless, with Toti Gomes still injured, Agbadou figures to be an option for back-line minutes if available.

Joining back Wolves

Agbadou is heading back to Wolverhampton after completing his international duty with Ivory Coast at the AFCON and should be back available for Sunday's clash against Newcastle United.

Analysis: Agbadou was eliminated with Ivory Coast from the AFCON and will now head back to Wolverhampton and should be back available for Sunday's clash against Newcastle United. The center-back has been an undisputed starter for Wolves prior to his international duty and should claim back that role now that he is back.

Going to AFCON

Agbadou is set to miss at least three weeks while with Ivory Coast for AFCON.

Analysis: Agbadou is headed to AFCON with Ivory Coast and will be away from Wolves in the meantime. The defender has started the last five matches in the back-three, meaning Matt Doherty or Ki-Jana Hoever could be forced into a larger role while he's away at AFCON.

Clears suspension

Agbadou is no longer suspended and is an option moving forward for the club.

Analysis: Agbadou has served his suspension following his straight red card against Fulham and is set to return in the next contest. The defender has started only one of his possible five last games with Wolves, therefore his return shouldn't impact the starting XI.

Analysis: Agbadou was shown a red card during Saturday's match against Fulham, leaving his team a man down for the remainder of the game. He will serve a one-match suspension and is expected to be back in contention when Wolves face Chelsea on Nov. 8.
