Blow for Wolves as Tim Spiers says two more players are out vs Arsenal alongside Neto

Tim Spiers has now revealed a triple injury blow for Wolves before they play Arsenal at home in the Premier League tonight.

With the chance to climb above the Gunners in the Premier League table with a win, this is all of a sudden a big game for Bruno Lage’s team in the race for European football.

Both Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United have dropped points in midweek, meaning that the race for the top four is wide open, and the Midlands club could put themselves in a very good position going into the last few months of the season.

Taking to Twitter, following Lage’s pre-game press conference, The Athletic journalist Spiers has now revealed that Willy Boly, Yerson Mosquera and Pedro Neto are all still ‘a bit away‘, and so will not be able to feature in the match at Molineux:

“Boly, Mosquera and Neto still a bit away.”

Of course, to be without three players, with their largely thin squad already, will come as a blow to Lage and the Wanderers.

WWFC fans will be desperate to see Neto especially out on the pitch again, given his five goals and six assists in the top flight last season (Transfermarkt), and Lage himself will no doubt want to work with his fellow countryman.

As for centre-back options, given that the Portuguese manager likes to play with three central defenders, Boly and Mosquera’s injuries have left him with few options there, and no real room to rotate his backline if any issues pop up in the game.

Nonetheless, Lage will have to find a way to win with the current squad that he has at his disposal, and you wouldn’t put it past him – they’ve picked up 13 of the last 15 points available.
