Nuno provides concerning Adama Traoré injury update | OneFootball

Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo confirmed that Adama Traoré dislocated his shoulder for the fourth time this season early in their 1-0 loss to Sheffield United on Wednesday.

Traoré suffered the same injury to his left shoulder back in December against Tottenham before reaggravating it in March against both Manchester United and Spurs again.

Following the match, Nuno revealed that the injury was definitely on his mind but that the 24-year-old is able to play through the pain.

“It’s the same issue that he had before,” Nuno said in his post-match press conference. “Now let’s see how he can overcome that. He is now in pain, but he’s a strong boy.

“The moment that he has his shoulder dislocated, of course, it is in his mind. What I saw is after that he keeps on going, fighting, jumping. It is in his mind but he is able to overcome that.”

Wolves’ Champions League hopes took a huge hit and they now find themselves in sixth place, three points behind United with the Red Devils facing Aston Villa on Thursday.
