Wolverhampton Wanderers stars Diogo Jota and Willy Boly could feature against Liverpool on Thursday night, according to Express and Star – handing Nuno Espirito Santo’s side a huge boost.
The West-Midlands club have struggled with injuries in recent weeks and the boss will no doubt be pleased to see some of his wounded on the mend – a feeling reciprocated by the club’s supporters.
Would you like to see the pair included on the bench versus Liverpool?
Yes

That is fantastic and shows how valuable the physio medical staff etc are for Wolves

Boly & Jota back in training with the first team, Great News – almost like 2 New Signings – but better than that – as these 2 already know our system!

Having Boly and Jota back will be something else

What do we think?
The pair have proven to be such key players, contributing to everything that is good about this ever-progressing side. Jota is currently valued at £31.5m according to Transfermarkt.co.uk and has scored 37 goals for the club since arriving from Atletico Madrid.
Willy Boly has struggled with an ankle/foot injury of late and hasn’t featured for Wolves since the 1-1 draw with Southampton back in October. As a result, he’s only managed eight Premier League appearances this season.
Whilst they may be short of the fitness required to start on Thursday night, we can now confidently say the return of the pair to first-team action is imminent and could be a huge relief to Nuno moving forward.
