Injury Expert shares early Wolves team news v West Ham United as Pedro Neto update emerges
Wolves are set to be without three first-team players for their Premier League clash against West Ham United, according to injury expert Ben Dinnery.
The injury expert shared the data on his website and has listed the players who will not be available and are “ruled out”, for Sunday’s clash (17 December) at the London Stadium.
Defender Jonny (internal suspension) and Joseph Hudge (Shoulder) are both ruled out of Sunday’s game. Star man Pedro Neto’s return may come too soon with Dinnery putting his return status at 50%.
Rayan Ait-Nouri is likely to return at the London Stadium but faces a late fitness test ahead of the game while Mario Lemina is “currently being assessed” for a thigh injury but there’s a chance he could make the clash.
Must-win
What was starting to look like some good form earlier this month on the back of late wins over Nottingham Forest and Burnley, as well as the comeback victory at Tottenham, the Fulham game was completely miserable and abject.
News emerged soon after the defeat that there was a sickness bug sweeping the West Ham United camp prior to the game but there can be no excuses for the Hammers because 5-0 really isn’t good enough at all.
The board aren’t minded on making a change at manager for the rest of the season despite the 5-0 at Craven Cottage but Moyes needs to ensure his side bounces back given the damage the Fulham defeat will have done to confidence at the London Stadium.
Despite the up-and-down form, West Ham are just a win away from the European places again in the Premier League table so Sunday’s clash against Wolves is one they really cannot take for granted at all.
Wolves are a bit inconsistent themselves in recent weeks and do have flashes of brilliance in them so the Irons can’t afford to rest easy at any moment during the game – it is a must-win game for West Ham United ahead of some gruelling fixtures ahead.
