Wolves handed triple injury boost as Gary O'Neil faces Bournemouth selection headache

Wolves are still on a high following their 4-1 victory over Fulham last weekend as they prepare for a home game against Bournemouth.

The Old Gold pulled out of the relegation zone on goal difference following their second three points of the season. The prognosis for Gary O’Neil suddenly seems much more bright.

O’Neil was under pressure coming into matchday 10, but two consecutive wins have helped boost Wolves’ confidence.

In the beating of Fulham, the Wanderers were missing defensive pair Santiago Bueno and Craig Dawson, forcing the manager to use Mario Lemina as a centre-back with Toti Gomes.

Lemina’s ‘outstanding’ defensive performance in a new capacity has led to speculation about two potential replacements.

Bueno was ruled out of Saturday’s encounter due to fitness concerns, while Dawson was unable to participate due to sickness.

This weekend, it looks the Wanderers defensive combination will return for the visit of Bournemouth. They were observed in Wolves training on Thursday with teenage right-back Pedro Lima, according to the Wolves website.
