Vitor Pereira nightmare as Wolves learn Emmanuel Agbadou injury timeframe – it’s bad news
Wolves’ worst fears have materialised as an update has emerged on the fitness of Emmanuel Agbadou ahead of the clash against Bournemouth.
Wolves tasted a 2-1 defeat against Liverpool on Sunday but the biggest concern to emerge from the match at Anfield was the condition of centre-back Agbadou.
The Ivorian was taken off in the 61st minute and replaced by Santiago Bueno, with Vitor Pereira confirming Agbadou suffered a muscular injury.
It was an update that didn’t sound too promising from the Wolves manager, and his worst fears were imagined after hearing how long he could now be out injured.

Since completing a £16.6 million transfer to Wolves from Stade Reims in January, Agbadou has been a revelation in central defence.
The towering defender has instantly solidified a leaky backline and improved those around him, with Matt Doherty and Toti Gomes elevating their games.
Agbadou was named the Wolves Player of the Month for January, underlining his instant impact, while keeping him fit was seen as crucial in their fight for survival.
Unfortunately, as revealed by journalists Liam Keen and Nathan Judah on the Express & Star podcast, the 27-year-old is set for three to four weeks on the sidelines and that is a crushing blow to Wolves.
