Wolverhampton's Ladislav Krejcí: Dealing with neck issues

Krejci (neck) was forced off in the 75th minute of Saturday's 3-0 loss against Leeds United with a whiplash injury and is a doubt for Saturday's clash against Tottenham, according to coach Rob Edwards. "Krejci came off with a bit of a whiplash injury. He was feeling his neck already and he's in some pain."

Analysis:

Krejci will be assessed over the coming days before any call is made on his involvement against Spurs, with the club monitoring the severity of the neck pain before setting a return timeline. Matt Doherty (undisclosed) could see increased playing time if Krejci needs to sit out, with Wolves hoping the whiplash issue proves minor enough to allow a quick turnaround ahead of the weekend fixture.
