PEDRO NETO NEWS

Getting run with U21s Neto (ankle) is starting for the U21s Monday in order to build up his fitness after staying on the bench over the weekend.

Impact Neto was technically an option Saturday against Southampton, but Julen Lopetgui didn't want to throw him into a match in which the team was down a man. In addition to this U21s game, he'll have another full week of training before the next game, so he should be close to making his Premier League return against Bournemouth.

Impact Neto's last appearance came Oct. 1 versus West Ham United in which he was forced off after just 24 minutes. Prior to his absence, the attacking midfielder started each of the first eight matches of the season but may have to settle for a spot on the bench for his first time back in the squad. Still, once fully fit and back to 100 percent, Neto should reclaim his place in the starting XI.

Will begin training soon Neto is expected to start training soon as he continues to recover from an ankle injury, the team announced.

Impact Neto has been out since Oct 8 with an ankle injury and has yet to begin full training. "Neto will soon begin training fully with the team and we hope he will be back playing soon" the team said. Adama Traore will continue to play in his place, but will soon see the bench once he returns.

Impact It's a tough injury for Neto, who has struggled to stay healthy and that's in turn hurt any future prospects. The hope is that he can recover over the World Cup and be ready out of the break, but that may be a best-case scenario given this update. It's unfortunate for him that he won't get to play for Portugal. In his absence, Adama Traore could finally sneak his way into the starting XI given the numerous injuries for Wolves.

Impact It's not a good look for Neto, who missed the majority of last season with a fractured kneecap. The hope is that this isn't anything that will last more than a month. As for Wolves, they'll have a new manager and he'll have to deal with minimal depth across the squad.

First assist Wednesday Neto provided one assist on three chances created during Wednesday's 5-1 loss to Manchester City.

Impact Neto finally earned his first assist of the campaign during Wednesday's one-sided loss. The winger has only made three starts this season, far fewer than the 30 he managed in 2020/21.

Takes three shots off bench Neto subbed into Saturday's match against Brighton at halftime, and he took three shots and created a chance in the 3-0 defeat.

Impact Neto injected some urgency to his side's attack upon his introduction into Saturday's game, but he couldn't find the breakthrough into Brighton's net. It's been eight games since his last Premier League start back on March 5, but this performance may have earned him another opportunity in the XI against Chelsea next weekend.

Continues bench role Neto has played off the bench in each of the last three matches, totaling seven crosses and four corners in 51 minutes.

Impact Neto has received one start for 63 minutes (March 5) and come off the bench seven times in his other appearances since returning in February from his long-term injury. Wolves are steadily working him back to fitness and it wouldn't be surprising for him to get another start in the coming weeks. Of course, he doesn't appear ready for a full 90, which means while he could start again soon, he's unlikely to go more than 70 minutes.
