Tommy Doyle has branded Pablo Sarabia ‘incredible’, as Wolves prepare to take on Fulham tonight in the Premier League.
Wanderers are back in Premier League action following the international break and have the opportunity to go 10th in the table with a win.
Fans are feeling optimistic after the brilliant 2-1 comeback win over Tottenham Hotspur a couple of weeks ago, which was inspired by Pablo Sarabia.
The Spaniard came off the bench for the closing stages and scored a stunning equaliser, before setting up Mario Lemina for a last-gasp winner.
It has been a tricky spell on the whole so far for Sarabia at Wolves, but Doyle reckons Gary O’Neil has got a special player on his hands…
Tommy Doyle brands Pablo Sarabia ‘incredible’
Doyle was given his thoughts ahead of tonight’s game with Fulham to the Express & Star, and is hopeful of starting the game.
He was perhaps a little unlucky not to start against Spurs, but he was crucial coming off the bench at the end, as well as Sarabia. His quick thinking helped to get Sarabia away to play in Lemina for the goal.
Perhaps O’Neil will start both players this evening, with Doyle really impressed by the 31-year-old. He said: “Every player doesn’t want to be on the bench. I want to play every game from the start. I’ve only just come here I need to work hard and stay focused. I need to help the team as much as I can. I’ve been able to do that.
“As have others, especially against Spurs – Pablo was incredible when he came on. That’s what we do here.”
Sarabia’s goal was hailed by many, with Micah Richards saying after that it was his goal of the season so far, and Garth Crooks branding it ‘memorable’.
Sarabia was incredible vs Spurs – he could be key tonight
After such a brilliant impact against Spurs, it would be a surprise if Sarabia was not rewarded with a start tonight against Fulham, especially with O’Neil having suggested the player had been really good in training before that amazing cameo.
Potentially, the £90,000-a-week star could be key tonight for Wolves. He’ll be feeling very good after his last appearance, and he did actually score his first Wolves goal in this fixture last season back in February.
It’s possible O’Neil could bring him in in place of Jean-Ricner Bellegarde. It would be very harsh to drop the Frenchman, but he’d be the most likely player to make way to accommodate Sarabia.
