Wolverhampton Wanderers are going strong in the Premier League at the moment.

Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Conor Coady has admitted to The Times that the Molineux Stadium outfit have a small squad.

Wanderers manager Nuno has not changed his starting lineup at all so far in the Premier League.

Coady – joined Wolves from Huddersfield in the summer of 2015 for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £2 million – has admitted that the Wolves squad is small.

The 25-year-old former Liverpool defender, though, has said that the Wolves squad are close and have a good team spirit.

Coady told The Times: “We’ve got quite a small squad, especially for a Premier League squad, so we’re all a very close-knit group, in terms of togetherness and team spirit.

“We’ve got some really, really good players, and we signed some fantastic players in the summer as well [notably the goalkeeper Rui Patricio and the central midfielder Joao Moutinho], so I don’t think it’s a surprise.”

Worrying?

Wolves did not make a huge change to their squad in the summer transfer window after winning automatic promotion from the Championship at the end of last season.

While the Wanderers are doing well in the Premier League, Coady’s admission about a small size is potentially worrying.

A large squad is needed, especially if there are injuries and if key players suffer a dip in form, and Wolves would be wise to sign players in the January transfer window.
