Wolverhampton Wanderers have made themselves look ‘a bit silly’ after being left with little depth at centre-back following the departures of Willy Boly and Conor Coady in the summer, according to journalist Dean Jones. Bruno Lage is now light of options in defence after Nathan Collins picked up a needless red card against Manchester City at Molineux on Saturday.
Wolves were comfortably beaten by the reigning Premier League champions as goals from Jack Grealish, Erling Haaland and Phil Foden sealed a 3-0 victory for Pep Guardiola’s side.
Getting anything from the game was a tough task made even tougher when summer-signing Collins saw red for a rash, high tackle on Grealish in the first half.
He will now face a three-game ban, leaving Lage with inexperienced duo Toti and Yerson Mosquera as options to partner Max Kilman.
