Wolves lost their game against Fulham last night in the Premier League – and after the game, Vitor Pereira gave a slightly concerning update.
Wolves fell to a 2-1 defeat against the Cottagers at Molineux, thanks to conceding immediately at the start of both halves.
Ryan Sessegnon opened the scoring for the visitors, taking advantage of poor defending by Nelson Semedo.
But Wolves got back level when Joao Gomes lashed in midway through the first-half.
Frustratingly though, Wolves then conceded inside the first minute of the second-half and were immediately put on the back foot, with Glenn Hoddle and Clinton Morrison both critical of Jose Sa for his role in the goal.
Wolves would dominate the ball, but lacked urgency with it, leaving fans frustrated.
It was a bad result, although Wolves were missing some potential difference-makers. But after the game, Vitor Pereira gave a worrying squad update.
Vitor Pereira gives injury update ahead of Bournemouth FA Cup clash
Last night’s game was always going to be tough.
Fulham are a good side pushing for Europe, and Wolves’ exertions against Bournemouth may also have had an impact.
Against Fulham, Pereira was missing four players – Emmanuel Agbadou, Rodrigo Gomes, Hwang Hee-chan and Goncalo Guedes.
All might have made a difference last night, and fans hope they’ll return soon.
But Pereira was asked if any of them would be back for this weekend’s game with Bournemouth, and it seems the game will come too soon.
He said: “I think not. Rodrigo, Hee-chan, Agbadou, no.
“Guedes, I don’t know. Maybe, maybe not.
“He had an MRI and has some problem in the knee. Maybe it will not be possible to play.
“We must go there with the same players.”
Wolves must atone against Bournemouth
The performance against Fulham was deeply disappointing from Wolves.
After beating Bournemouth on Saturday, fans were very optimistic heading into this game and felt it was an opportunity at Molineux under the lights.
But Wolves just didn’t show enough urgency with the ball, and didn’t trouble Bernd Leno in the second-half.
It was somewhat reminiscent of when Wolves played Liverpool, with Gary Neville critical of the performance.
Wolves must not bounce back against Bournemouth and get back on track.
Pereira cannot afford to go on a losing run, and hopefully he will soon have those injured players back available.
