Gary O’Neil has shared concerns about the fitness of two important players as Wolves prepare to face Newcastle United. The team has struggled in the Premier League this season, sitting in the relegation zone with just one point from three games. Their only point came from a draw against Nottingham Forest in their last match.
Following the draw, Wolves suffered a setback as Mario Lemina and Rayan Ait-Nouri were forced to withdraw from international duty due to injuries. Lemina, the team captain, did not play for Gabon, while Ait-Nouri was unable to train fully with the team ahead of the upcoming match against Eddie Howe’s side.
O’Neil confirmed that Lemina and Ait-Nouri had picked up minor injuries and are doubtful for Sunday’s game. However, he expects Yerson Mosquera to be fit despite experiencing cramps and fatigue after his international commitments with Colombia.
Wolves will be looking to maintain their unbeaten streak against Newcastle at Molineux, with their last loss to the Magpies dating back to 2017. The last time Newcastle won in the Premier League at Molineux was in 2011, with goals from Jonas Gutierrez and Demba Ba securing a 2-1 victory.
