Wolves 1-0 Fulham: Cottagers' nightmare start to the season continues as Pedro Neto strike downs Scott Parker's side at Molineux

Daily Mail | October 4, 2020

Nuno Espirito Santo is ‘very worried’ about the health of his players as they prepare to leave Wolves and go on international duty.

Sixteen players in the first-team squad will depart to play for their countries in the forthcoming fortnight, leaving Nuno concerned about the condition in which they may return.

Pedro Neto’s second-half goal was enough to seal victory over Fulham but Nuno – who has often voiced his fears about football in the Covid-19 era – now has his mind on other matters.
