Injuries at Wolves and anticipated return dates prior to Luton Town
Birmingham-based Wolverhampton Wanderers newsLivestreaming the match at Luton Town in the Premier League
Wolves are getting back on track after Saturday’s 3-1 loss to Liverpool at home left them with just three points and four losses out of five in the Premier League so far. Gary O’Neil’s team played well enough to lead 1-0 at the break, but Jurgen Klopp’s team outplayed them in the second half with two goals in the final ten minutes to seal the victory.
Wolves must therefore play their next game, against Luton Town, as soon as possible. But in what condition is O’Neil’s team? They are doing well in terms of injuries.
First to left back Rayan Ait-Nouri who had to come off after 66 minutes and was replaced by Hugu Bueno. Gary O’Neil was able to deliver some good news about the Algerian international, saying: “Rayan was just sort of muscle fatigue really. I don’t expect him to have any problems that last until next weekend. He will probably just need a few days to recover.”
Ait-Nouri has started four out of five of Wolves Premier League games and generally done well having found it hard to break into the team under Julen Lopetegui last season. So, the good news on his injury means he’s likely to start at Luton with Hugo Bueno providing cover from the bench.
