Wolverhampton Wanderers beat Derby County in the Championship on Wednesday night.
Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo spoke to reporters after his side’s win over Derby County in the week, and admitted that Romain Saiss played the second half against the Rams injured, as quoted by the Express & Star.
The Black Country outfit currently sit comfortably at the top of the Championship table, and need just two more points to guarantee promotion back to the Premier League.
Nuno’s men have displayed undoubted quality throughout the course of the season thus far, but what has been most impressive about them has been their ability to grind out results when they have not been at their best.
There is a strong essence of team ethic at Molineux, and that has served them wonderfully well throughout the course of the season.
Nuno spoke to reporters after Wednesday’s win over Derby, and highlighted just how committed his players are to the cause by sharing how Saiss played against the Rams whilst suffering with an injury, as quoted by the Express & Star:
“There was a player on the pitch on Wednesday that at the beginning of the second half had a very strong kick and was in pain. He held on to the last minute of the game, working hard, running…that was Romain Saiss.”
Next up for Wolves is a home game against Midlands rivals Birmingham City on Sunday, and they can secure promotion with a win against Garry Monk’s side.
