Wolves fans received news of Hugo Bueno’s absence ahead of the Nottingham Forest clash, and it’s now become clear why.
Hugo Bueno was the first-choice left-back under Vitor Pereira at Wolves, but things haven’t exactly gone to plan for him since Rob Edwards’ appointment.
The left-back has featured in just 15 minutes of action.
David Moller-Wolfe has taken the lead role, and to be fair to him, he’s impressed.
The Norwegian was unlucky not to have been called upon by Pereira after his two goals against Chelsea, but he’s finally getting his chance under the new manager.
You are Rob Edwards at half-time, what are you telling these Wolves players?🗣️

Hugo Bueno’s absence explained… how big of a miss is he?🩹
Moller-Wolfe’s first-half performance against Nottingham Forest was rather nervy, often not knowing whether to advance or retreat with the ball.
