Coventry City opposition injury news from CoventryLive as we take a look at Wolves’ mounting injury worries ahead of the weekend’s big FA Cup clash

In addition to top midfielder Pedro Neto, Wolves are expected to be without two more important players for this weekend’s FA Cup quarterfinal matchup against Coventry City.

Important midfielder Jean-Ricner Bellegarde fell down with a knee problem in the first ten minutes of Saturday’s 2-1 home victory over Fulham, forcing the Portugal international striker to leave the game at halftime due to a suspected hamstring injury. This week, scans were scheduled for both to determine the severity of their injuries.

Pablo Sarabia is the lone senior forward that Wolves have left after Hwang Hee-chan and Matheus Cunha were also ruled out ahead of the crucial cup match against Championship Sky Blues.

In reference to the 25-year-old Frenchman, Gary O’Neil stated, “Bellegarde’s is his knee and it will be a scan.”

“Pedro’s was his hamstring, though I’m not sure how bad it was. The medical staff finds it challenging. There will be a lot of work to be done, but they come and talk to me, and then I come and tell you what they think.

The previous week, Neto was substituted off the field at halftime against Newcastle due to a tight hamstring in his left leg. However, he was cleared to play against Fulham before to sustaining the same injury. In an interview with the Express and Star, O’Neil continued, “He had a great week. In exercising, he felt great and his scan result showed no damage to any of his muscles.

“I’m extremely let down. Eventually, it occurs to me whether the choice to play him was correct or not, therefore I have to come to terms with that. I feel so bad for Pedro. He’s put in a lot of effort to return. Although there will be a scan, the results will be obtained, and we’ll take it from there, the medical staff is optimistic and doesn’t believe this one is similar to his first.

The 24-year-old’s right leg hamstring injury caused him to miss eight weeks of action earlier in the season.

In the upcoming weeks, Rayan Ait-Nouri, a young utility man, will probably play a bigger role because injuries have severely limited the team’s offensive options. During an outstanding ninety minutes against Fulham, Ait-Nouri has played left-back, left wing-back, striker, and right flank.

Regarding the 22-year-old, O’Neil remarked, “He’s very important.” He’s served me well in a variety of capacities. He can play as a 10, on the left or right, or in midfield. We’ll need all the boys because we deployed Mario as a left winger and second number nine. Everyone is aware of their responsibilities, and we will require everyone to contribute fully in their chosen jobs
