Glenn Hoddle is hoping Mark Kennedy and Denes Rosa will both win their fitness battles to face Sheffield Wednesday today.
The duo both missed last weekend's draw with runaway leaders Reading with their respective foot and groin injuries.
But Hoddle is hopeful of welcoming both back into his plans for the clash with the Owls when Wolves look to extend their eight game unbeaten run and keep up the momentum of their late play-off push.
"Mark Kennedy has been able to train back with the group this week," confirmed Hoddle.
"Denes Rosa has only been able to do a warm up so far, but both could return to the squad and give us two more possible options."
With play-off rivals Preston and Cardiff also both enjoying home fixtures against Plymouth and QPR respectively this weekend, Hoddle knows tomorrow's clash with the Owls could prove vital to Wolves' top six chances.
And the Wolves boss has told his team they must produce a repeat of the performance that convincingly saw off the Bluebirds in their last Molineux outing against a side battling for their Championship lives.
"We are on a good run, in a rich vein of form and playing well so we have got to take advantage of his home fixture, it's as simple as that," said Hoddle.
"We need to play in a confident manner, similar to how we played against Cardiff at home.
"We have got to focus our minds completely on trying to produce that type of performance.
"Wednesday are fighting for their lives still and they know that if they lose a couple of games at this stage of the season it could turn everything around at the bottom of the division.
"These games aren't easy and form will tell us that. We've dropped points to Crewe at home, and teams like that have given us a problem.
"But we're in good form and I like to be meeting them in this type of form that we're in. I think there's a real positive vibe around the camp."

Please lets hope Kennedy isn't fit!
