Wolves have confirmed that winger Chiquinho will undergo surgery after suffering a serious injury during pre-season.
Wolves played a behind-closed-doors friendly on Saturday against Championship side Burnley. Goals from Morgan Gibbs-White, Daniel Podence and Chiquinho saw Wolves come out as comfortable 3-0 winners .
The win comes after a 4-1 win over Forest Green Rovers the previous weekend. There was however a big blow to come from the match vs the Clarets.
Rumours circulated on social media on Sunday morning that Chiquinho had suffered a serious injury. Those rumours have since been confirmed by the club, who have said that the 22-year-old has suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
“Chiquinho has been assessed after suffering a knee injury following a collision in yesterday’s friendly,” the club wrote on Twitter.
“Unfortunately, scans confirm an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament and plans are being made to undergo surgery and rehabilitation.
“Stay strong Chiqui, we are with you!”
The winger joined Wolves in January from Portuguese side Estoril Praia. He made a total of nine appearances for the first team last season, but will now face a significant spell on the sidelines after undergoing surgery.
