Fans of Wolverhampton Wanderers have been reacting to an image which emerged on Twitter of defender Jonny wearing a protective boot.
During the clash with Norwich City on Sunday, the Spaniard picked up a knock and left Molineux wearing a protective boot (per Birmingham Mail), and after an image emerged of Jonny in the boot (via Talking Wolves), some fans remained calm.
Wolves wing back Jonny wearing a boot following his injury vs Norwich yesterday. Hopefully nothing too serious and a speedy recovery. ?#WWFC #TalkingWolves pic.twitter.com/cSPiQ5rW93

Is anyone else thinking what I am? (Is that real parque flooring or a really good Lino)?

Who is the better player out of the two options?Jonny Otto
Ruben Vinagre

During this season, the Spanish full-back has been the Old Gold’s sixth-best performer in the Premier League, having picked up a 6.84/10 average performance rating (as per WhoScored).
While some supporters were relaxed, others were not so much, with one supporter frustrated that Ryan Giles was recalled from Shrewsbury Town for cover and then sent out on loan again to Coventry City (as per Express and Star).
Yeah was sarcasm ? recalled him for 1 match then sent him on his way now potentially need him again. Shambles. Pleased Vinny may get another run though.

Hope the kid got a yellow for the high tackle

What do we think?
While some supporters were remaining calm, the Spaniard’s possible absence will leave Nuno Espirito Santo with no available cover for Ruben Vinagre at left wing-back in the first-team squad (per Transfermarkt).
As one supporter mentioned, though, it seems strange that Giles was brought back in from the Shrews as a cover option, only to be shipped back out on loan (per Express and Star).
