Wolves boss will carefully decide when to select attacking talent

The Spaniard has started the last two Premier League games as a reward for his impact off the bench against Brighton in the game prior, which were his first league minutes in two months.

Despite scoring within two minutes against Southampton, O'Neil says he will need to be careful when he picks Sarabia due to his physical shortcomings.

"He is very robust and he is a confident boy," O'Neil said.

"He backs himself to impact football matches. He helps us with the ball and Pablo is ready.

"I think the physicality of the Premier League can be a challenge for him.

"I have spoken to Pablo about that and he works very hard on making sure that isn't the case. He is diligent, he works his socks off, he is excellent around the group.

"But the speed and the physicality of the Premier League can be testing.

"Pablo's strengths are his intelligence, his quality with the ball, the positions he picks up. You need him to show that side because if it ends up being a fight or a foot race, it becomes more difficult for him.

"He works very hard and he will help us, he will pick up good positions, he will create chances for people.

"We're trying to find the right moments for us to use him in, which is why he is not a regular.

"He is not one that has been on 90 minutes of every game, for that reason, you try and find the right situations that fit what he brings."

Sarabia is out of contract in the summer and as one of Wolves' highest earners, it remains to be seen if he will stay at the club.
