Following Liverpool’s loss, Gary O’Neil provides an injury update on the £10 million Wolves player.
According to Gary O’Neil, Rayan Ait-Nouri’s injury is not anticipated to be significant.
The Algerian was ejected from Saturday’s 3-1 loss to Liverpool at Molineux.
For Wolves, Ait-Nouri had been playing exceptionally well.
He handled Mo Salah, one of the league’s greatest players, extremely well, as he has done several times since joining Wolves.
Ait-Nouri, though, collapsed holding his leg soon after the hour mark after Cody Gakpo had equalized for Liverpool.
Hugo Bueno took his position, and unfortunately, he went on to score an own goal, which was quite unfortunate.
After the game, O’Neil gave an update on Ait-Nouri…
Rayan Ait-Nouri should be OK says Gary O’Neil
There were concerns for Ait-Nouri, who has started the new season quite well after a tough end to the last campaign.
However, O’Neil made an effort to calm worries in his post-game press conference.
The 22-year-old’s injury, he claimed, was really just muscle tiredness. He shouldn’t encounter any issues, in my opinion.
He probably only needs a few days to heal, but we won’t know until the following weekend.
Four of Wolves’ first five Premier League games have been started by Ait-Nouri.
Additionally, he entered the match against Everton at halftime in the only one he didn’t start.
It’s obvious that O’Neil likes the £10 million young player right away, which is encouraging to see given his troubles earlier this year.
Wolves get the win over Ait-Nouri
Fortunately, Ait-Nouri’s problem is not severe.
In the event that Bueno is not available, the Wolves have solid backup in Bueno.
However, Ait-Nouri has had a strong start to the current campaign, and O’Neil would undoubtedly start him this weekend against Luton Town.
One of the Wolves’ most promising prospects is Ait-Nouri.
He didn’t achieve it under Julen Lopetegui, but he seems to be having fun under O’Neil, and perhaps this season he can elevate his game.
