Wolverhampton Wanderers have a couple of injury concerns heading into their game with Bolton today.
Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo addressed the media yesterday, ahead of his side’s clash with Bolton Wanderers in the Championship today, and shared news of a major double blow for his team, as quoted by the Express & Star.
The Black Country outfit have been quite simply sensational this season, and sit comfortably at the top of the Championship table, needing just one more point to secure the league title.
Nuno deserves great credit for the manner in which he has gone about his business since taking over at Molineux.
The Portuguese’s player recruitment has been first class, but he also deserves praise for the way in which he has extracted the best from the players who were already at the club when he took over.
Many expect Wolves to wrap up the league title today, but Nuno delivered worrying news, when speaking to reporters, regarding the fitness of Ivan Cavaleiro and Ryan Bennett, as quoted by the Express & Star:
“Ruben is available for the game, Cavaleiro and Bennett are not available. Hopefully they’ll be involved again this season, let’s see if they can recover. Like we always do to all the players we respect their time of recovery. It doesn’t make sense to force or to push something that can injure the player.”
Wolves currently sit on 95 points, and will be hoping to finish the season strongly with three consecutive victories.
Their hopes of doing just that appear to have taken a blow with injuries to two key men, but such is the strength of Nuno’s squad, they should be more than capable of coping without the duo.
