Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers are set to compete in the Premier League, but Wolves manager Gary O’Neil is facing some tough challenges ahead of the match. In a press conference, O’Neil, who has previously worked as an academy coach at Liverpool, revealed that several players are ill. He stated, “There’s quite a bit of illness in the camp. We’ll probably need to assess a few players tomorrow to see how they’re feeling.”
Dr. Kai has been working hard all week to aid the players’ recovery, but multiple individuals have missed training due to illness. This situation is likely to disrupt the team significantly, creating a selection headache for O’Neil. With illness being unpredictable, the team’s lineup may remain uncertain until the last moment.
Although the match is set for an evening kickoff, allowing some extra recovery time, Wolves’ position at the bottom of the table adds to their difficulties. For Arne Slot, preparing for the match may have become somewhat easier, as the health issues at Wolves could improve his team’s chances of winning.
