Wolves are still on the hunt for their first victory of the season, languishing at the bottom of the Premier League with just one point from several matches played.
Their lone point came from a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, but their tough run of fixtures is far from over as they gear up to take on Liverpool next.
With a dismal defensive record of conceding 14 goals in just five games, Wolves will need to shore up their backline if they hope to avoid relegation. Unfortunately, their task has been made even harder with the news of Yerson Mosquera’s serious injury, which will see him sidelined for the foreseeable future.
As Wolves scramble to find a suitable replacement for Mosquera, one potential option could be former Liverpool defender Joel Matip. The experienced center-back, who was once hailed as “world-class” by Jürgen Klopp, could provide the leadership and defensive prowess needed to stabilize Wolves’ leaky defense.
Matip’s tall stature, aerial prowess, and ability to progress the ball could make him a perfect fit to fill the void left by Mosquera’s absence. With his wealth of experience playing at the highest level, Matip could be the missing piece that Wolves need to turn their season around and climb up the Premier League table.
