5 players missing tomorrow?

[Mile End Wanderer]

Diogo Jota, Helder Costa and Romain Saiss are all struggling with injuries after the trip to Middlesbrough and are considered doubts for the game ensuring City could be set to face a weakened Wolves outfit.

Neves and Doherty suspended

Going to be an interesting line up!

Wolves could be without five key players to face Hull City

 

[arctic rime]

Cant see it really

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Cant see it really

They must know more than us or certainly clutching at straws going to be one of them games I sense

 

[JOSWolf]

Really hope they arent all out.

 

[Snarlingwolf]

Blimey, we’ll only be able to play with 6 players. I know we did ok with 9, but only allowed to play 6 players is really unfair.

 

[Shifnal Wolf]

Based on Saiss and Costa being dead on their feet At the end of the game I’m guessing.

Rubbish journalism

 

[Frank Lincoln]

Well if there a few players out it gives others a chance to show what they can do.

 

[Deleted member 4453]

Costa and Saiss were dead on the feet? is this just speculative.

 

[Sedgley Gold N Black]

Interesting to look at how we’ve faired without them.

Doherty (3 wins, 1 draw)
Neves (5 wins, 2 draws & 2 losses)
Saiss (6 wins, 2 draws)
Jota (4 wins, 2 draws)
Costa (10 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss)

 

[LG Wolf]

If true we may see a slight formation change and a front two with Cav just behind.

Ruddy
Bennett
Coady
Boly
Vinagre
N’Diaye
MGW
Douglas
Afobe
Bonatini
Cav

Did Bennett replace Doc in all 4 of those matches?

Buur against Bristol Rovers.

 

[Brightonwolf]

If any apart from those suspended are shattered then just having them on the bench has to be an option.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Was there anything to suggest there is an issue with Costa or Saiss? From what I saw Costa was tired and Saiss ran himself into the ground, but neither actually injured? MGW for Neves and whatever works for Nuno at RWB. We need to not blow the extra points we saved at Boro obviously. There's still time for one more meltdown on here!

 

[Tring Wolf]

Think we’ll be fine. May even be a nice surprise with Diogo (although I reckon he’ll be saved for Cardiff).

 

[Deleted member 4453]

Costa won't be out tomorrow I'm not having it.

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

Think it’s lazy journalism would be my guess. Costa often struggles to do 90, and Saiss had just bust a gut trying to protect the back line so looked broken on the floor.

Fingers crossed anyway!

 

[Floyd Man]

Nothing on this from the E&S so I'm thinking it's purely speculative.

Nothing more than speculation IMO only of course

 

[Netherton Wolf]

If it is only fatigue surely 4 days rest shud do it !!

 

[Ches78]

It'll be good if Vinagre gets a run out - I'd like to see him get some mins towards the end of the season and then stay with us... Although weren't there rumours we'd have to fork out some dosh if he played again?

 

[WasStefan]

Rubbish

 

[Wonder Boyo]

Think it's guess work by the journalist but i noticed Costa limping and holding his thigh a lot at Middlesbrough before he came off. Saiss was also slightly limping towards the end. Don't think either of those would have been spotted on TV but I was aware at the stadium. Think Tim Spiers also tweeted that both Costa and Saiss were limping after the game which is where I think this journalist has picked this up from. Hopefully both were just a bit tired. Didn't seem like major injuries and could well recover in a few days.

 

[Deleted member 4023]

If this is indeed the case, then its time for our fringe players to step up.

 

[JOSWolf]

Have seen Costa looking like he is limping after various games this season. Could just be the effort put into games.

 

[Deleted member 4023]

I'm limping Jos at the moment, but should be ok to make the trip to Molineux on the train from Manchester tomorrow afternoon

 

[Loojay]

If Saiss is out we should bring Batth in and put Coads back in CM.

 

[Sephiroth]

If Saiss is out we should bring Batth in and put Coads back in CM.

Behave

:-0

 

[Alonewolf]

Initial report on HITC say no more !!

 

[Nige100]

If it is only fatigue surely 4 days rest shud do it !!

I dunno I've just had 4 days off and am back tomorrow and I'm shattered. doubt they have sank as much bud light as I have tho. Dilly Dilly.

 

[Chardee MacDennis]

Costa made an appearance on Barry Douglas' Instagram feed at training the day after the Boro match (whichever day that was, could be anything, is today Wednesday???).

He looked bright and chipper, not like someone who's just been through a war of attrition.

And if print journalists can make judgements based on 4 seconds of Tv footage post match, I can counter that by making judgements based on 5 seconds from social media.

 

[Green Wolf]

If Saiss is out we should bring Batth in and put Coads back in CM.

I would prefer Hause over Batth.

 

[bully9]

id prefer to play with 10 than danny sorry if that offends anyone

 

[cannockwolf]

i dont think it matters, i reckon we wont be doing much defending tomorrow anyway

 

[astraltrader]

COYW!!!

 

[JadeWolf]

Helder was absolutely knackered on Friday, never seen him work as hard as that in a game.

 

[OLDGOLD]

If Saiss is out we should bring Batth in and put Coads back in CM.

No thanks.

 

[MotorWoden]

Have seen Costa looking like he is limping after various games this season. Could just be the effort put into games.

I have also noticed this. He is also very reluctant to get involved in tackles compared to last season in my opinion. I think he is still carrying something. Clearing out operation in the summer maybe?

 

[Derby Wolf]

Costa held his hamstring to justify the slow walk off the pitch when he was subbed to avoid getting a booking and then bounced around with the rest of them once we won.

Saiss was knackered and prone but he was also overcoming that illness he had on international duty so expected to be dead on his feet.

This is classic E&S bull****. Every time Spiers gets something spot on he follows it up with utter guff like this.
