# Wolves: Rayan Ait-Nouri ‘fine’ after illness

**Liam Keen has shared an early team news boost for [Wolves](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/) ahead of their clash at home to Leicester City in the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) on Sunday afternoon.**

### The Lowdown: Ait-Nouri illness

As per [The Birmingham Mail](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/wolves-rayan-aitnouri-hugo-bueno-25296685), Rayan Ait-Nouri missed Tuesday night’s 2-1 defeat at Crystal Palace due to illness, despite travelling to south London for the game.

Hugo Bueno took the French youngster’s place in the starting line-up and helped himself to an [assist](https://www.sofascore.com/crystal-palace-wolverhampton/dsh) for the goal scored by Adama Traore at Selhurst Park.

### The Latest: Ait-Nouri ‘fine’ to face Leicester

Taking to Twitter, Express and Star journalist [Keen](https://twitter.com/LiamKeen_Star/status/1583431445997006848) has shared some early team news from interim Wolves manager Steve Davis, who shared good news on Ait-Nouri and indeed the squad as a whole prior to the visit of Leicester on Sunday.

The 57-year-old stated: *“Ait-Nouri is fine. Everyone is available.”*

### The Verdict: Keep Bueno in?

Even though Ait-Nouri is back and available, there is an argument for Davis to keep Bueno in the starting line-up, given his assist against Palace and an overall impressive performance which saw him win five duels, make three clearances, three interceptions and three tackles and achieve a 92% pass accuracy ([SofaScore](https://www.sofascore.com/crystal-palace-wolverhampton/dsh)).

However, Ait-Nouri has been one of Wolves’ standout performers over the season so far, ranking highly among his team-mates in terms of average tackles, dribbles and crosses per Premier League match ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/161/Show/England-Wolves)).

Having the Frenchman back is a boost, and Davis may want to go for that extra little bit of experience against a Foxes side with confidence after their 2-0 win at home to Leeds United on Thursday night.
