Wolverhampton Wanderers could be without Morgan Gibbs-White against Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday after the midfielder picked up an injury earlier in the week.

Gibbs-White came off early in Wolves U23s’ 3-2 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on Monday night and may not be risked over the weekend if he isn’t 100%. Nuno Espirito Santo could give Bruno Jordao the nod in his absence while Leander Dendoncker should also provide midfield cover on the bench.

Where will Wolverhampton Wanderers finish in the Premier League?

It’s been a disappointing season for Gibbs-White. He’s made 14 appearances in all competitions for Wolves, racking up a meagre 712 minutes of playing time due to spending two months out with a serious back injury.

The 20-year-old only has 123 minutes of Premier League football under his belt and finds himself behind Ruben Neves, Joao Moutinho, Romain Saiss and Dendoncker in the pecking order.

Gibbs-White’s last appearance came in Wolves’ 2-1 defeat to Liverpool in January and is the only top-flight outing he’s made since September 2019. The central midfielder has featured only three times in 2020 and may consider his options this summer.

The England u21 international can’t afford another season of inactivity at Molineux. He needs competitive football and many supporters believe Gibbs-White should be loaned out in 2020/21 as a result. It remains to be seen what he’ll decide, however.

    Who cares? He wouldnt be playing anyway. He’s only in the squad through sentiment. Terrible player, nowhere near premier league standard and needs to be moved on over the summer. I dont want to see him at the club next season. Complete waste of shirt number

      You are obviously a glory hunting jackass that knows sfa about football or the club, MGW is young, has been out with a back injury and twats like you think he has got to fly.
      You must also hate Nuno because he picks him in the squad and certainly doesn’t pick players on sentiment, has for not wanting to see him at the club again, who the hell do you think you are, do you really believe the club listens to morons like you, feck off and get back too the baggies, JACKASS!

      • Mr majika says:

        He’s made over 60 odd appearances and performed well once against Tottenham last season. Thats an appalling return and absolutely unacceptable. Get your head out of your arse and understand that he is not good enough for this level. He will not be here next season, get used to it!!!

        If hes so amazing and nuno thinks he’s so great. Why has he been demoted back to the u23’s? He’l be gone in the summer, watch!!!
