In a season riddled with injury setbacks for Wolverhampton Wanderers, the news of Pedro Neto’s potential return provides a glimmer of hope for fans.
Despite suffering his second serious hamstring injury this campaign on March 9, there’s renewed optimism surrounding the 24-year-old winger’s comeback, according to head coach Gary O’Neil.
Neto’s absence has undoubtedly been felt on the pitch, with his dynamic play and attacking prowess sorely missed by the Wolves faithful. However, O’Neil’s recent update on Neto’s progress offers a ray of hope for supporters eagerly anticipating his return to action.
Speaking about Neto’s recovery during his pre-match press conference, O’Neil expressed his optimism, stating, “I am optimistic that we’ll see him before the end.” This statement injects a sense of anticipation into the Wolves camp, as they prepare for the final stretch of the season.
While Neto’s potential return brings positivity, the season-ending injury to young striker Leon Chiwome serves as a reminder of the poor injury luck Wolves have had to deal with this campaign.
Chiwome, who had been vying for a breakthrough in the first team, now faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines, robbing him of the opportunity to showcase his talents on the grand stage.
