00:00Hello, Liam Keane here, a very sunny Compton. I've just spoken to Vitor Pereira for his pre-match press conference ahead of the clash against Leicester and Molyneux tomorrow.
00:10And starting off with some good news on the injury front. Jose Saar, who went down injured in the warm-up at Old Trafford last weekend, is fit and available.
00:17He's trained all week. He could come back in to start the game against Leicester.
00:23But of course, Dan Bennett did really well at Old Trafford and commanded his box very well. And that leaves Vitor Pereira with a big decision to make with his team selection.
00:31Otherwise, we also have Bellegarde and Huang. Neither of those players made the squad at all for the Old Trafford game, which means now Vitor's got another decision.
00:40Do players like Doyle or Forbes or Guedes make the bench when these two are back available as well?
00:44On top of that, you've got Pedro Lima, who had an ankle knock. He is back training. I would imagine he probably doesn't quite make the bench.
00:50But he is one that's in the mix as well, while Sam Johnston is still unavailable as he nurses an ongoing old injury that he is trying to get back from.
01:00Otherwise, Vitor Pereira was quite blunt, really, in his press conference today. It's very much business as usual.
01:07He's trying to ensure that this team stay committed, stay focused, stay motivated. They are safe. They will not be going down.
01:14They will be playing Premier League football next season. But he's desperate to see them continue their good run, first of all.
01:19But play a lot better, really, than they did against Man United. He wasn't happy with the performance and he wants to see a lot more from this side going forward.
01:27And that's the challenge going in against Leicester. Leicester's side that are struggling, have already been relegated, should really be a straightforward win for Wolves.
01:34But it's very rarely like that in the Premier League. And that was Vitor Pereira's message.
01:38He wants to see a lot more from the team and a much better performance than he did at Old Trafford.
01:42And that's their challenge. So we will, from the Express and Star, be at one of you tomorrow.
01:47No Nathan Judah, hence why I'm doing this video here on my phone.
01:51But he also won't be at the game tomorrow. But we will hopefully be seeing another Wolves win, extending that winning run to six games in a row.
