Wolves travel to London this weekend for their next Premier League game against Fulham.
Wanderers got their first win of the season before the international break against Southampton and Gary O’Neil must now try and follow that up.
Another win would really help his cause, and change the mood somewhat.
Fulham have made a great start to the season and are currently seventh in the table, so victory over the Cottagers would be something of a statement.
Adama Traore is in good form and Toti Gomes will potentially be very important, and Raul Jimenez has also been enjoying a good season. So Wolves must try and keep their old boys quiet at Craven Cottage.
Heading into the game, O’Neil has one big injury concern.
Santiago Bueno a doubt for Wolves to face Fulham
Santiago Bueno withdrew from the Uruguay squad a few days ago to return to Wolves early, having been struggling with a groin injury.
Bueno actually arrived at the national team with his injury, with Marcelo Bielsa hoping he could play some part for his country against Colombia or Brazil.
It’s been reported this afternoon by the Telegraph that Bueno is indeed now a doubt for Wolves to face Fulham.
O’Neil will speak to reporters on Friday ahead of the game to hopefully provide an update.
Wolves fans react
On social media, the claim about Bueno being a doubt has predictably gone down very badly.
Wolves came into the new season with four centre-back options, which became three following the injury to Yerson Mosquera.
With Bueno now looking like he has an issue, supporters are not happy.
Bueno injury would be a major concern
We’ll see what the coming days bring, but an injury for Bueno would leave Wolves in a very precarious position.
Wolves were already down to the bare bones after losing Mosquera. To lose Bueno for any period of time now would be extremely bad.
It puts even more pressure on Craig Dawson to stay fit, and that cannot be as easy at 34 years old when he’s already played a lot of games.
At this point, Wolves need the January transfer window badly. Wolves will reportedly make a centre-back a top priority, and hopefully, the groundwork is already being laid to get someone in.
