Nuno provides Morgan Gibbs-White injury update | OneFootball

Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo provided a rather discouraging update in regards to Morgan Gibbs-White’s ankle injury.

Gibbs-White twisted his ankle in a reserve match in early March and was expected to recover quite well. However, in the space of two weeks, the 20-year-old has not improved much.

Unfortunately for Wolves, it’s expected that he will continue to miss out for an extended period of time.

“Morgan’s getting better, but he’s not good. He’s had a season where there have been obstacles in terms of injuries and not being able to settle down, and perform in a continuous way, but we still have time.

“Hopefully, he’s not going to be out for long and he will be able to join the group and keep on helping us.

“We always train in as close to a reality situation as we can when we approach a competition. This is how we work – we train like we play.

“But, of course, we have to be aware [of injuries]. It would be absurd to create circumstances that avoid us to count on players for the competition.”

The youngster has featured 13 times in all competitions for Wolves this season, scoring in their Europa League qualifier against Pyunik Erevan back in August.
