Wolves Face Forward Fitness Concerns Ahead of Brighton Match

Wolverhampton Wanderers' coach Vitor Pereira has revealed that forwards Jorgen Strand Larsen and Tolu Arokodare are not in peak condition for their upcoming match against Brighton & Hove Albion. Larsen is dealing with an Achilles injury that has affected his pressing and overall contribution, while Arokodare's pre-season was hampered, leaving him short of full match fitness.

Larsen has played 197 minutes in three games since returning from his injury but hasn't scored. Arokodare has featured for 184 minutes across four appearances, scoring once in the EFL Cup. Pereira emphasized that neither player is currently capable of playing a full 90 minutes, limiting his options in attack.

Wolves are in desperate need of a win, sitting at the bottom of the Premier League with just one point from six games. The fitness concerns surrounding Larsen and Arokodare add to the challenges Pereira faces as he seeks to turn the team's fortunes around. A positive result against Brighton is crucial before the international break.
