Brentford v Wolves preview: Gary O’Neil warns Wolves to be ready for big test at Bees
Gary O’Neil has warned his small Wolves squad to be ready for a ‘big test’ at Brentford as they manage the hectic festive fixtures.
Wolves head into tonight’s game on the back of a Christmas Eve victory over Chelsea, but at a time when the club is managing an illness bug that has affected several players and kept Boubacar Traore, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Fabio Silva out of the squad on Sunday.
O’Neil hopes to have some of those players returning, as well as Pedro Neto, but they face a Brentford side that has enjoyed a break after their game with Manchester City was postponed.
“We have players that are ready to play, that haven’t played, so there’s an opportunity to change it a little bit,” O’Neil said.
“We’ll see how the boys recover. We called up a couple of lads late (before the Chelsea game), so hopefully we can get a few back.
“Jean maybe. He was ill. Pedro should be back too, so hopefully the squad will look a little bit deeper than it did (against Chelsea).
