The sights of Tyler Roberts limping through the final ten minutes against Leicester City and Junior Firpo getting stretchered off the pitch at the end of the Aston Villa defeat were poor omens at the start of the Jesse Marsch era.
Following these two significant losses, it was perhaps a relief that his players got through a lively bottom-of-the-table contest against Norwich City mostly unscathed.
Fans were surprised that the American started Rodrigo, who was weak against Aston Villa, and surprised again when Marsch took him off after an hour - since the Spaniard, aside from bagging the opening goal, was one of the game's best performers.
But just as the return of Patrick Bamford has released Rodrigo to shine in his more natural position, the 31-year-old is now in doubt for the Wolves tie.
In his post-Norwich press conference, Marsch revealed that Rodrigo was feeling some tightness in his quad.
Though he wasn't able to be more specific, Marsch has previously expressed his preference to be cautious with injuries.
"I don’t think it would be classified as an injury, but we just have to see how he recovers over the next days," he said.
1. Rodrigo - quadriceps
Rodrigo's hamstring was heavily strapped when he was substituted off for Robin Koch in the 60th minute of Leeds' 2-1 win over Norwich City. After the game, Jesse Marsch said the attacker was feeling tightness. Rodrigo could appear against Wolves, subject to assessment. Photo: George Wood
2. Tyler Roberts - hamstring
Roberts has had surgery on his hamstring after pulling up moments after coming on against Leicester. The recovery will take three months and counts the striker out of the rest of this season. Photo: Naomi Baker
3. Liam Cooper - hamstring
Cooper has missed 14 Premier League games to his hamstring issue. The Whites skipper has been back in training and is nearing the end of his recovery. He won't feature against Wolves but could be involved against Southampton. Photo: Jan Kruger
4. Leo Hjelde - knee
The Norwegian had surgery on his knee after injuring himself during the Whites' 3-0 defeat to Everton in February. Marsch says his knee hasn't reacted to the operation and has a full range of movement - a positive sign, but it'll be some weeks before Hjelde can return. Photo: Gareth Copley
5. Junior Firpo - knee
When Firpo was stretchered off with pain relief at the end of Leeds' defeat to Aston Villa, it didn't look good. Marsch hasn't provided a detailed update yet but speculated that it could be damage to his Medial Collateral Ligament. If Marsch is right, Firpo will be out of action for some time.

6. Kalvin Phillips - hamstring
Marsch said he hopes to use the international break to bring Phillips back into regular training. If he features against Southampton it'll be a whole month later than the original return date offered of early March. Photo: Michael Regan
