Wolverhampton Wanderers had a frustrating start for the campaign and Vitor Pereira suffered an injury involving one of his key players.
Wolves turn focus to Everton Clash after defeat in Newcastle
The old gold must still take a point in the Premier League and find himself rooted at the bottom of the table after a frustrating defeat of 1-0 against Newcastle United last weekend.
Despite a closely disputed meeting with great solidity on both sides, Nick Woltemade’s head turned out to be the difference, and in a way, he also underlined the lack of attack by Wolves.
Furious to know how the flow of the match was interrupted, Pereira evacuated his frustration on the match of the day by saying that the will of the officials to distribute yellow cards slowed down the momentum of his team.
He said: “I am very proud of my team. I think we have contributed from the first minute to the last minute of a difficult stadium.
“In the end, I have a question. How is it possible for a team to press and be aggressive and win duels if we have yellow cards? This has spoiled our game. It is not possible to be aggressive and to compete at this level with yellow cards in the middle of the field.”
Nevertheless, their lack of creativity had a training effect in the last third, something that will have to be rectified while the Wolves are preparing for a crucial double head against Everton in the EFL Cup before Leeds United visit Molinine this weekend.
Dele Alli could provide a dose of inspiration under the window for old gold. However, Pereira has now been treated another blow in his search for freshness in front of the goal that will frustrate supporters.
The Wolves fear that Jorgen Strand Larsen’s injury will now be “more serious”
As relayed by the Yorkshire Evening Post, the Wolves can be without Jorgen Strand Larsen for the visit of Leeds this weekend, after Pereira admitted last week the injury of Achilles of Norway International is “ more serious ” than the first.
Explaining that the chronology of his return cannot be fixed in the stone, he said that after Saturday’s defeat against Newcastle: “From day to day, it is his Achilles tendon, we cannot push – we must be patient.”
During the summer, Strand Larsen was the subject of a significant interest in Newcastle and was assessed at around 65 million pounds sterling by old gold, hence the reason why he ended up staying in Molinine.
In a frustrating turn of events, the 25 -year -old can miss a little longer and unable to add 16 goals and five assists in 41 appearances in all competitions since he was initially loaned by Celta Vigo last summer.
Tolu Arokodare made his debut in the defeat of St James’ Park, and he could now be called for the next game race after his move to the West Midlands of Genk.
