The news that Pedro Neto might miss the remainder of the season due to injury has been a major setback for Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Neto has had his most successful season with Wolves in terms of stats and calibre of play, with two goals and nine assists from his 19 Premier League games.
Due to his significant influence on Gary O’Neil’s team, there has been continuous discussion of a high-profile summer transfer involving the Portugal international, who is thought to be worth more than £50 million.
However, Wolves’ perhaps best player could suffer a second serious hamstring injury, which could make it difficult for them to draw in the kind of offers they would have expected earlier in the season.
Neto missed two months of activity between the end of October and the end of December, and when he had a similar problem with his opposite leg against Fulham last weekend, there were concerns that this would continue.
Before the Coventry City match, O’Neil had been vague about Neto’s availability, which gave the impression that the 24-year-old would be able to make a comeback sooner rather than later.
Rather, the Englishman disclosed following the heartbreaking 3-2 loss in the FA Cup quarter finals that it would be advantageous if Neto returned before the conclusion of 2023–24.
According to O’Neil, who was cited by the Express & Star, Pedro might be nearing the end of his season. That and the injuries he sustained on the other side are extremely comparable.
“There’s a chance he comes back for the last couple (games), maybe, if it goes really well.”
“It’s comparable to the previous injury, which was around nine weeks, so possibly around that time frame,” he continued.
Rehab can take a variety of forms, so it might go faster or take a little longer. We’ll observe the outcome.

For their match against Coventry in the round of eight, Wolves’ attacking players were severely limited, and they didn’t start to threaten in the last thirty minutes while down 1-0.
During the same press conference, O’Neil made a suggestion that he thought Jean Ricner-Bellegarde and Matheus Cunha would be able to return for the March 30 encounter against Aston Villa.
Bellegarde’s knee ailment may require more time to heal, making her a greater doubt, while Hwang Hee-chan’s hamstring injury will keep him out of the game until at least the middle of April.
