Gary O’Neil is facing a lot of contemplation during the international break as Wolves have had a difficult start to the season. With just one point from their first three games, the team knew it would be a tough beginning when they saw the fixtures.
After losses to Arsenal and Chelsea, Wolves managed a win over Burnley in the Carabao Cup. Their draw with Nottingham Forest added to their unsteady start. September will bring more challenges with matches against Newcastle United, Aston Villa, and Liverpool on the horizon.
Injuries are now a concern for Wolves as Rayan Ait-Nouri looks set to miss Algeria’s upcoming matches due to injury. The young star may not be available for their AFCON qualifiers, with reports suggesting he arrived at the camp already carrying an injury.
Manager Vladimir Petkovic will assess Ait-Nouri’s condition before the game against Liberia, as Wolves will closely monitor his recovery. The team will work closely with the Algerian medical team to ensure he is not rushed back too soon.
With a tough month ahead, Wolves need Ait-Nouri fit and in form. Despite a slow start to the season, he remains a key player for the team and his availability will be crucial for their upcoming matches.
