Wolves have already received a major boost for when they play Arsenal

Wolves have yet to play their fixture against Manchester United, but they have already received a boost for their following match against Arsenal.

Rob Edwards will take any good news he can get at the minute. Wolves are struggling for results, and playing a side like Arsenal makes the chances of getting one quite slim.

Any tilting of the odds will be welcome, even if it is a minuscule shift, and fortunately, a small but potentially meaningful break has arrived for Wolves.

In Arsenal’s 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa, it was confirmed that one key player for Mikel Arteta will not be involved against Wolves.

Riccardo Calafiori picks up suspension for Wolves game

On Saturday afternoon, Wolves received some good news as a key Arsenal man is set to miss their fixture on December 13th.

Arsenal are a top side, and they are leading the way in the Premier League, with Manchester City and Aston Villa on their tail.

However, against the latter, Riccardo Calafiori picked up his fifth yellow card of the season, which has now ruled him out against Wolves.

The blow is massive for Arsenal, as the Italian has started all of their Premier League matches this season.

It will truly take something special from the Old Gold to get a win in that match, but any boost beforehand will certainly be welcomed.

Steve Bull has asked Edwards to get the Wanderers showing some fight, and a resilient performance against the London side would be a positive.

The Gunners are currently going through a bit of a crisis with defensive options, as William Saliba, Gabriel, and Cristhian Mosquera all missed out against Villa due to injury.

Wolves will have the returning Joao Gomes available

Rob Edwards will be well aware of the impact of having a player suspended, as Joao Gomes picked up the same punishment for Wolves’ game against Manchester United.

Having one of his key men back for a game against one of the best teams in the Premier League will be a boost of its own.

Wolves will need to produce a spectacular display and provide what would be one of the bigger upsets of the season at the Emirates.

Crazier things have happened in football, and it would not be the first time a team destined for relegation shocked the world with a result against the league leaders.
