Wolves face Manchester United this weekend in the Premier League, and Vitor Pereira could be forced into changes against the Red Devils.
Wolves are going in search of their fifth straight win in the Premier League, and many are tipping Wanderers to do it against a struggling United side, who are in Europa League action last night.
It’s been a superb past couple of months for Wolves.
Relegation is no longer a concern, after Vitor Pereira guided Wolves to 14 points clear of the drop zone with just six games left to play.
Mathematically safety will be achieve soon, but eyes are very much already on next season.
Pereira has hinted he’ll be making changes and trying new things in these coming games.
And that may well start this weekend against United, with two Wolves players potentially facing a battle to be fit.
Matt Doherty and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde not seen at Wolves’ Easter open training session
It is tradition for Wolves to hold an open training session at Molineux at Easter, and that took place on Tuesday.
There were opportunities for people to watch Pereira put his players through their paces, and for supporters to get photos and autographs with the players.
Wolves have released some new photos from the training session via their official website.
And the club have also uploaded a video of the session to YouTube.
On both the pictures and the video, there is seemingly no sign of the two players who are withdrawn early against Tottenham Hotspur; Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Matt Doherty.
Bellegarde went off just before half-time and was replaced by Pablo Sarabia. Doherty went off at the break, with Santiago Bueno replacing him.
Obviously, Wolves have only just released these pictures and videos. It’s unclear whether the duo have since returned to training since.
What Pereira said about Bellegarde and Doherty after Tottenham win
Wolves fans will hope that both Bellegarde and Doherty will be passed fit to play this weekend.
They may not have trained on Tuesday, but Pereira did say after the win over Spurs that both withdrawals were precautionary, and the the injuries for both were ‘nothing too serious’.
Pereira is likely to give a fresh update on the pair when he speaks to the media on Friday.
In the event that Bellegarde – who’s rivalling Mo Salah and Kevin De Bruyne for creativity in 2025 – misses out, one would imagine that will give Matheus Cunha the chance to come back in as a starter, after he was overlooked against Spurs. After being bench, he did then come on in the second-half of course, and scored the fourth goal.
Doherty would potentially be replaced by Santiago Bueno as he was in the game against Spurs.
But Pereira may also hand Nasser Dijga a chance to show what he can do, having only made a couple of appearances so far.
