Wolves v Coventry City injury news as 6 ruled out and 2 doubtful

Wolves Team News:
Wolves face the challenge of reaching Wembley without Pedro Neto, who sustained an apparent hamstring injury during their victory against Fulham last weekend. Neto pulled up while chasing the ball and had to be substituted.

Jeanricner Bellegarde was another player withdrawn during the match against Fulham due to a suspected knee issue. Bellegarde only lasted 10 minutes before being replaced by Tommy Doyle, adding to Wolves’ injury concerns.

Hwang Hee-Chan is set to miss approximately six weeks of action due to a hamstring injury suffered in the previous round against Brighton. His absence is expected until mid-April.

Matheus Cunha, who was already sidelined with a hamstring injury, has returned to training but won’t be available for selection. The Brazil national team coach has ruled him out for the upcoming fixtures, making a return after the international break the most probable scenario.

Craig Dawson was notably absent over the weekend following O’Neil’s disclosure of a sore groin. Despite his eagerness to participate, Dawson remained sidelined for the Fulham match and will require assessment due to his absence.

Out: Hwang Hee-Chan, Jeanricner Bellegarde, Matheus Cunha, and Pedro Neto.
Doubtful: Craig Dawson.
