There are reports today claiming that Wolves will go into Sundayโs potential relegation decider with Blackburn without striker Kevin Doyle. The Irish Times have stated that Doyle suffered a recurrence of his previous knee injury in the 3-1 win at Sunderland on Saturday and will now face three-to-four weeks on the sidelines.
Doyle replaced Steven Fletcher after 71 minutes of the win at the Stadium of Light and was looking well placed to come into Mick McCarthyโs starting lineup for Sundayโs crunch encounter. The report states that, although Doyle came through his appearance the weekend, he openly admitted to have been โplaying through some pain for the last 10 of the 20 minutesโ.
This will be welcome news for Fantasy Managers. Doyle was a troublesome factor to consider in the Wolves ranks given that Fletcher and Stephen Ward both look strong prospects going into Sundayโs game. Should Doyle be out of the picture, Fletcher would seem certain to start up front against Rovers, with Ward likely to retain his start in the support striker role. Ward is available as a defender in the Fantasy Premier League game.
Thereโs no confirmation of Doyleโs injury from Wolves however, the clubโs official twitter stream today released a firm โNo commentโ verdict on the situation. Make of that what you will.
We will bring you official news once itโs surfaced via our own Twitter channel.
