Gary O’Neil delivers worrying Pedro Neto injury update

The Wolves manager has revealed that Pedro Neto could miss the rest of the season with a reoccurring injury.

Wolves were knocked out of the FA Cup on Saturday afternoon by Coventry City after two dramatic late goals from the Championship side in added time.

If the defeat wasn’t bad enough for Wolves fans to swallow, Gary O’Neil delivered more bad news in his post-match press conference.

The English manager revealed that Neto, who came off injured against Fulham last week, could potentially be out for the remainder of the season after picking up another issue.

“Pedro, potentially, it’s the end of the season for him,” he said.

“It’s similar to the last injury, which was around nine weeks, so potentially around that time frame.”

The Portuguese winger has been plagued with injuries over the past three seasons and with only ten Premier League games left, he could be out for the rest of this season.

Neto is widely considered as one of the best wingers in England with teams like Arsenal and Manchester City heavily linked with him.

Despite only featuring in 19 games this season, the 24-year-old still holds the second most assists in the league so far this campaign with nine.
