Wolves have informed supporters that one player has a ‘minor injury’ and has not travelled to Marbella.
Wolves have now started their pre-season training, with a handful of players having flown out to the south of Spain.
Some have been given breaks following their exertions for their national teams. But 29 players have gone to the training camp, and all will be looking to make an impression on Gary O’Neil.
Included in the 29 are the three new faces who have come in this summer – Jorgen Strand Larsen, Rodrigo Gomes and Pedro Lima.
They will be looking to make a good early impression and be hoping to get to grips with how Wolves play.
But Wolves have said one player currently has an injury and has not made the trip.
Wolves striker Nathan Fraser hasn’t travelled to Marbella due to ‘minor injury’
Wolves have today confirmed that 29 players have gone to the training camp in Marbella.
They say that Jose Sa, Nelson Semedo, Joao Gomes and Pedro Neto have all been given time off to recharge after being on international duty.
Boubacar Traore and Enso Gonzalez are also absent as they will be heading to the Olympics in Paris with Mali and Paraguay respectively.
Wolves say that Nathan Fraser has not travelled to Marbella having recently picked up a ‘minor injury’ and has remained in Wolverhampton. They do not disclose any more information.
Fraser made 11 appearances for Wolves’ first-team last season, and recently signed a new contract with the club.
He may well join Wolves’ pre-season trip to the US later this month. But sporting director Matt Hobbs has said the intention is to get Fraser out on loan for 2024/25.
The player himself has also opened the door to this.

So Fraser has not flown out with the rest of the squad for the first pre-season training camp and hopefully he will be able to shake off whatever he has done.
But it may well be that the 19-year-old doesn’t spend any time with Wolves ahead of 2024/25.
Fraser is being lined up for a loan this coming season and ideally, he will make a move fairly early as this will allow him to settle in faster and learn the ways of his new team.
Back in January, he had been set to join Shrewsbury Town. But O’Neil had no choice but to keep him around the first-team after sanctioning the exits of Sasa Kalajdzic and Fabio Silva.
Perhaps the League One club will seek to reignite their interest, once the injury clears up.
