Wolves are facing a challenging start to the 2024/25 season, with the latest injury update adding to their troubles.
After a promising showing in the previous season, Gary O’Neil’s team is struggling to make an impact this year. With just one point from five Premier League games, Wolves find themselves at the bottom of the table with four losses and one draw.
Their recent defeat to Aston Villa in the West Midlands derby was made worse by an injury to Yerson Mosquera. The Colombian defender had to be taken off in the 82nd minute after a challenge from Morgan Rogers, and fears of an ACL injury were raised.
An update from Colombia has confirmed that Mosquera has suffered an MCL injury, with concerns that he may also have damaged his ACL. As Wolves anxiously await more information on his condition, prayers are being said for both the player and the club.
Mosquera’s absence poses a significant challenge for O’Neil, who must now find a way to cope without one of his key defenders. With a shortage of options in central defense following the departure of Max Kilman, the manager will need to rely on Craig Dawson, Santi Bueno, and Toti Gomes to fill the void left by Mosquera.
As Wolves reflect on their decision not to bring in another defender during the summer transfer window, they face the difficult task of navigating through the season without one of their most reliable performers.
