Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Nuno Espirito Santo has praised the work of the Wolves’ backroom staff when it comes to injury prevention.

As reported by Express & Star, Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Nuno Espirito Santo has praised the work of his backroom staff following the improvements in injury prevention at the club.

It turns out that the success of the Midlands side is not just restricted to their performances on the pitch, with Nuno revealing the intricacies behind how the league leaders are able to bring players back into the fold so quickly.

Leo Bonatini, one of the many shining lights of this campaign, is expected to be back relatively soon following an unspecified issue. Aside from his spell on the shelf and a brief problem for Romain Saiss, their injury list has been quite impressive thus far.

“Injury prevention is something we’ve worked on.” said Nuno. “We have good people taking care of that. The science helps.

“I’ve always taken an interest in it (as a manager) because the fitness of the players is good and sometimes prevention is the best solution.

“If you can read well the science of the player and prevent things from happening when you can see that they’re there just by taking a training session or a week of a different approach, you can prevent a longer period that the injury causes. If you balance that, prevention is good.”

One of the more impressive factors of Wolves’ sensational campaign thus far comes from the fact that they are constantly a target for teams up and down the league.

Whether it be a home game or an away game, sides tend to let the old gold & black players know they are there, which may be the most logical tactic when you consider just how dominant they have been up to this point.

Thankfully, for the first time in a long time, it appears as if the class is shining through above the stereotypical nitty-gritty tactic we have seen for years now in the second tier.

The trickery and consistency of this team often leave their opposition wondering what went wrong, but if they gain promotion to the Premier League, things will step up a level.

It is safe to say, though, that the rest of the Championship will be eager to try and replicate the success of the Wanderers in order to try and minimise the number of injuries they sustain.
