Wolverhampton Wanderers head coach Vitor Pereira has confirmed that the team’s preparations for the upcoming FA Cup tie against Bristol City have been significantly impacted by injury concerns. Pereira revealed that three players are expected to miss the match due to injuries they sustained during training sessions. The players affected include midfielder Matheus Nunes, who suffered a muscle strain, as well as defender Nelson Semedo and forward Pedro Neto, who are both recovering from longer-term injuries. Pereira stated, ‘It’s a big blow for us, especially with the importance of this competition.’ The Wolves approach the FA Cup match following a challenging period in the league and are keen to progress in this prestigious tournament. The encounter against Bristol City is set to take place at the Ashton Gate Stadium on Saturday, January 7. Bristol City head into the match with solid form in the Championship and will be looking to capitalize on Wolverhampton’s depleted squad. Pereira reiterated the need for his side to stay focused, saying, ‘We need to be prepared for a tough battle because Bristol City are a quality side.’ As the competition heats up, Wolves’ fans are hoping their team can overcome these hurdles and make a deep run in the FA Cup, where they last saw success in 1980. The match is anticipated to draw significant attention, with betting markets indicating Wolves are slightly favored despite their injury issues.
