Mario Lemina could have already played his last game for Wolves.
The Gabon international is being strongly linked with a January transfer exit. According to reports, Lemina is in talks to sign for Saudi side Al Shabab with a potential deal moving quite quickly.
Wolves are preparing to take on Nottingham Forest on Monday, and although a transfer for Lemina has yet to be agreed, the midfielder will play no part after Vitor Pereira confirmed he is out with an injury.
There is some good news for the Old Gold’s midfield though.
Vitor Pereira reveals Andre agreement
After recently travelling to Brazil for the birth of his son, midfielder Andre will return in time to take on Forest.
Speaking to the media ahead of Monday’s important clash, Pereira revealed an agreement he made with Andre before the club allowed him to make the trip to South America.
“Andre is not a problem for us but he is not here because his son was born in Brazil,” the Wolves boss said.
“I think a father must be with his son and with his wife. This is a moment that I cannot say no to. This is like a commitment between him and me. The commitment is he must come back for the game.”
Andre’s excellent form eases pressure ahead of potential Lemina exit
Lemina’s potential exit has been well documented, and although fans won’t want to see the African depart Molineux, they will be optimistic about his teammate’s form.
Andre was superb during Wolves’ 2-0 win against Manchester United with his performance earning him some high praise.
Likely to be tasked with filling the void left by Lemina should his move to Al Shabab go through, Andre will be expected to develop his partnership with compatriot Joao Gomes in a double midfield pivot.
During his first season in the Midlands, Andre, who joined from Fluminense last summer, has featured in 15 matches in all competitions.
He has yet to score for his new club but now going from strength-to-strength, fans will be hoping he opens his account soon.
