Cesar Peixoto is keen to dispel the myth that Wolves’ injury crisis is down to his training methods, and he came prepared with notes in his pre-match press conference to prove it.

Peixoto brought notes to explain the different kinds of injuries and that Wolves have had minimal muscle knocks. When asked by journalists to see his notes, the head coach happily handed them over as he defended his methods.
