Wolves injury news ahead of Liverpool clash as Gary O’Neil gives press team updates

Premier League football makes its comeback after the international break with Wolves hosting Liverpool in the early Saturday kick-off.

Gary O'Neil's team are coming off a 3 - 2 loss to Crystal Palace, and they've allowed eight goals in their first four games of the season, a tally exceeded by only four other teams.

Prior to the upcoming match, the Wanderers' manager held a press conference where he provided positive updates on the team's injuries.

Tommy Doyle, who recently recovered from a minor knee issue, is now available for the Liverpool game. Despite this, it's uncertain whether he will start in midfield due to competition from Mario Lemina and Joe Gomes. However, a spot on the bench seems probable.

Joe Hodge is the only player currently sidelined due to injury, but it's not expected to be a long-term problem. He suffered a hamstring injury in the Carabao Cup win against Blackpool two weeks ago and might return to action in approximately two weeks.

Sasa Kalajdzic, meanwhile, who spent a year out with an ACL injury, continues to work on regaining full-match fitness. The attacker made his comeback during the pre-season and has featured as a substitute in Premier League games this season, as well as starting in the Carabao Cup victory against Blackpool.

During the international break, the 26-year-old was able to make further progress by participating in a training ground friendly, which was used by O'Neil to work with players not involved in international duty.
