Wolves’ preparations for their upcoming match against Liverpool have hit a snag as illness has swept through the squad, confirmed by manager Gary O’Neil. The team currently sits at the bottom of the Premier League table with just one point from five games.
The players have been battling sickness, causing many to miss training ahead of the clash with the in-form Reds, who have a perfect record in away games this season. The illness has raised concerns for Wolves, especially considering their position in the league and the challenge posed by Liverpool’s strong form.
Despite the setbacks, O’Neil remains optimistic about his team’s chances and is hopeful that the affected players will recover in time for the match. He emphasized the importance of making things difficult for Liverpool and is determined to put up a strong fight against the top-flight champions.
Liverpool, now under the leadership of Arne Slot, have had a strong start to the season, winning four out of five matches. This will be the first time Wolves face Liverpool without former manager Jurgen Klopp, adding an element of uncertainty to the upcoming clash.
While Wolves have struggled defensively this season, conceding 14 goals in five games, O’Neil believes that the numbers do not tell the whole story. He pointed out that despite the high number of goals conceded, his team has shown resilience and determination in their performances.
As they face Liverpool, O’Neil is focused on tightening up their defense and turning their season around. He remains confident in his team’s ability to bounce back from their defensive woes and disrupt Liverpool’s momentum in order to secure their first win of the season.
