Wolves have been handed a big injury boost in the lead up to their upcoming Premier League clash against Arsenal tonight at the Emirates Stadium.
What’s the latest?
Relayed on Twitter by Wolves journalist Tim Spiers, Old Gold manager Bruno Lage revealed in his latest press conference that there are currently no injury concerns in his squad ahead of the match against the north London side and that they are in a good place as a group.
The Midlands club head into this latest league fixture having won their previous match against Leicester City with a scoreline of 2-1 at the weekend thanks to goals from Ruben Neves and Daniel Podence.
Despite full-back Rayan Ait-Nouri going off in the latter stages of the game against the Foxes with a suspected injury, it seems as though it was nothing serious and will now be available for selection once again tonight.
Fans buzzing
With Wolves only two points and one place behind Arsenal in the league table as things stand, this will be a massive game for both sides and their hopes for securing European football at the end of the campaign. Thus, having a fully fit squad will elate supporters.
Having fallen to a 1-0 defeat by the Gunners only a few weeks ago, which has been Wolves’ only loss in their past eight league games, it’s safe to say that they will be fighting tooth and nail to secure all three points this time around.
For the home side, Arteta’s team have been on an identical run of form to the Old Gold with just one defeat in their last eight league matches, which came against league leaders Manchester City early last month where they fell to a 2-1 loss.
Are you confident Wolves can beat Arsenal tonight?
Yes
No
Now that Lage has confirmed that he will have a full squad full of fit players to pick from for his starting XI this evening, this will surely delight a lot of fans and give them a lot of optimism that their team can pick up another win and climb further up the table.
Looking beyond tonight’s match, if Lage can keep all his players fit for the remainder of the season and keep picking up positive results, they will be in with a great chance of potentially ending the campaign higher than the seventh-place finishes they’ve managed to secure twice in their past three Premier League seasons, which would surely be a massive achievement for Lage in his first year in charge of the club.
