Rob Edwards outlines the plan at Wolves now amid ‘strange’ 25-day break

Wolves will not take to the field again until April, with the club having an unusually long break.

The Old Gold played their 31st Premier League fixture of the season last night against Brentford, drawing 2-2 at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Adam Armstrong and Tolu Arokodare were on the scoresheet for the visitors, who showed great character to come back from two goals down.

And on another night, Wolves may have taken all three points.

Wolves now have a 25-day break until their next game, which is as a result of the Arsenal fixture being rearranged due to their involvement in the Carabao Cup final.

And last night Rob Edwards shared how Wolves will use the time.

Wolves to play a friendly game in 25-day break

Speaking straight after the 2-2 draw with Brentford, Edwards was asked about the plan for the next few weeks by Sky Sports presenter Dave Jones.

The Wolves manager said: “We’re going to get a few days now. A few days off. The lads who don’t go on international duty will get some time away with their families which is nice. They’ve earned it and deserve it

“And then we’ll come back, and it’ll be a mixture of training. And we’ll play a friendly game and make sure we prepare properly to go up against West Ham, which will be another really really difficult game for us.

“But it’s a really strange one. Never had this in a season before.”

It is currently unclear who this friendly game will be against, but the likelihood is that it will be behind closed doors.

A chance to replenish

It is a shame Wolves came up just short against Brentford, because stewing on that winning feeling during this unusually long break would have been ideal.

That said, the Wolves players can still be proud of a three-game unbeaten run.

This will now be a good chance to replenish ahead of the final seven games, with Wolves realistically needing to win all of them to stay up.

Some players have looked jaded recently, having put a lot of effort in for Edwards.

Mateus Mane is one such player, and last night he was taken off at half-time after lacking influence.

He was replaced by Angel Gomes, who Thierry Henry felt change the game for the better for Wolves.

Mane has played a lot of football in 2026. He will benefit greatly from this period and hopefully come back to make the kind of impact when he first came into the team.
