Now, the manager has pointed towards why Wolves lost the game, explaining that injuries played a massive role in the defeat.

All three are currently out on the sidelines with Wolves amidst an injury crisis at the club.
After the defeat to Villa, O’Neil was able to provide an update on when each of them are expected to return with one in contention for Burnley.
