Peixoto | ‘We have to manage the situation for tomorrow’

Wolverhampton Wanderers head coach Cesar Peixoto revealed he must manage player fitness ahead of Saturday's Championship match against Middlesbrough. Following the international break, Fer Lopez returned with a knee issue and Jordan James suffered a foot problem, leaving both doubtful for the fixture. Jean-Ricner Bellegarde will also have his workload monitored after playing more minutes than expected for Haiti as Wolves prepare for five matches across 15 days.

Rafiki Said has progressed well and will travel with the squad to the Riverside Stadium. Peixoto also provided fitness updates on Yerson Mosquera and Raul Jimenez, noting Mosquera requires more time to build match fitness while Jimenez will not be rushed back into action to avoid further setbacks.
