Newcastle United v Wolverhampton Wanderers - Premier LeagueAfter a relatively uneventful first half of the season, the Wolves treatment room is now starting to get a few more visitors.

Last month, Matheus Cunha suffered a ‘significant’ hamstring injury, and has now missed the last four games for Wanderers. He is expected back at the back end of this month.

Hwang Hee-chan came off against Brighton last week and it has since transpired that he will miss around six weeks with a hamstring injury.

On Saturday, Pedro Neto came off at half-time for Wolves, with O’Neil saying after the game that the Portuguese was feeling a tight hamstring.Newcastle United v Wolverhampton Wanderers - Premier League

It’s a nightmare scenario for Wolves, with those three players having been absolutely crucial this season with their contributions in the final third.

Wolves are now in a tough spot, and the manager is going to need people to really step up – and one man who fans will hope really finds his feet soon is Jean-Ricner Bellegarde…

With Cunha and Hwang unavailable, and Neto seemingly a bit fragile at the moment, it’s really important that Bellegarde now steps up.
