- Goalkeeper ‘remembers what happened’ in Liverpool defeat
- ‘The next 48 hours are important. We have to wait’
Nuno Espírito Santo is cautiously optimistic that the Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patrício will recover fully from the head injury he suffered in a distressing collision just before the end of his team’s 1-0 defeat by Liverpool.
Patrício collided with the knee of his teammate Conor Coady as the pair tried to tackle Mohamed Salah, and medics treated the Portuguese on the pitch for nearly a quarter of an hour before carrying him off on a stretcher. Wolves are all too aware of the danger of head trauma, as their striker Raúl Jiménez continues to recover from a fractured skull suffered against Arsenal in November. Nuno therefore looked relieved, following the Liverpool defeat, when he confirmed the early prognosis was that Patrício appeared to have been more fortunate.
