Gary O’Neil’s stark warning ahead of Wolves’ league climax

Gary O’Neil has warned Wolves will have a difficult Premier League run-in if they cannot get some key players back from injury.

Wolves have Pedro Neto, Matheus Cunha, Hwang Hee-chan, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Craig Dawson all sidelined, with Cunha the most likely to return to the squad to face Villa in two weeks’ time.

As a result, Wolves’ attacking options are limited and after losing late in the FA Cup to Coventry, O’Neil has warned his side have a mountain to climb in the remaining Premier League games this season.

He said: “Lifting the players will be fine. They always respond and they will respond.
