How injury jinx has struck Wolves with a vengeance
Wolves, having fared so well with injuries in previous years, have drastically seen things take a turn for the worse this time around.
Star man Pedro Neto needing knee surgery is a massive blow for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side.
And, unfortunately, it adds to a long list of problems over the course of this season.
Here is a look at the issues Wolves have faced.
Raul Jimenez (fractured skull, still in recovery)
Wolves’ first serious problem of 2020/21 came when Jimenez clashed heads with David Luiz at Arsenal in November.
A long delay in the game saw the Mexican stretchered off and rushed to hospital, where scans revealed he had suffered a fractured skull.
The striker was quickly operated on and since then, he has made excellent progress.
Jimenez has been joining in with sessions at Compton for several weeks and even linked up with Mexico for a training camp during last month’s international break.
