Wolverhampton Wanderers will travel to South Yorkshire on Saturday to face Sheffield United in a bid to extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League to six matches.
Wolverhampton Wanderers looks like they will be missing one of their best attacking players in their upcoming trip to Sheffield United.
Portuguese star Pedro Neto had to leave the field in the second half of Saturday’s 2-2 home draw with Newcastle United after suffering a hamstring injury.
The striker is in great form, contributing 7 assists this season.
No Premier League player has created more goals than Neto in the 2023/24 season.
But it looks like Neto won’t be facing the Blades on Saturday.
The 23-year-old man posted on social networks: “Aside from all this noise, I’m here to say that I will be away from home for a few weeks, but soon I will be stronger than before.
Already focused on the my recovery.
See you soon.
It’s a big shock for Wolves, who are currently on a five-match unbeaten streak.
Neto’s team-mate Hwang Hee-chan admits Wolves will struggle to recover Moving on from their talisman for the next few weeks The Korean says: “We hope he is well because he is a very important player for us.
Our thoughts are with him.
How can you manage without him?
He is an incredible player so it will be difficult to cover up his performance.
But we have a lot of good players, like Sasa (Kalajdzic), Fabio (Silva) and Pablo (Sarabia).
“If you see us practice, you will understand that our combination is very good.
Not only me, (Matheus) Cunha and Neto, but also Sasa and Pablo understand each other very well.
So I think we have players who can replace Neto.
Wolves are 12th in the rankings after accumulating 12 points after 10 matches.
