Santi Bueno, Mario Lemina, and Matt Doherty are all in contention to face Fulham on Monday (8pm kick-off), according to Wolves manager Gary O’Neil.
O’Neil also stated that Pedro Neto will miss the game and is ‘weeks’ away from returning, though there is no specific timetable for the winger’s return. Wolves will also be missing Nathan Fraser, Craig Dawson, and Joe Hodge when they travel to Craven Cottage.
In his pre-match press conference on Thursday, O’Neil said: “(Santi Bueno) hurt his ankle a couple of days before the Tottenham game, which was a blow because we haven’t got loads of centre-backs available, especially when we end up with three on the pitch in Dawson, Kilman and Toti.
“He’s back fit, he’s trained with the group the last couple of days. He didn’t go on international duty because he wouldn’t have been fit for their matches. He’s stayed, worked with the physios and got himself back in shape. I see no problem with him being involved on Monday.”
“On international duty, Mario rolled his ankle, but he should be fine.” Matt Doherty has a hamstring injury but will be fine.”
When asked about Pedro Neto, O’Neil stated, “Pedro will not be present on Monday.” He has a little more work to do, so he’ll stay with the physios and fitness staff a little longer.
“There is no set timetable, but he will not be available on Monday.” We’re hoping it’ll be weeks before he returns.
