Edson Alvarez was the star of the show against Freiburg last night, but his performance against Wolves will depend on how well he recovers from an injury. The Mexican central defender, who had only recently recovered from a severe illness, was knocked out of the second half of play.
And after consulting the club’s medical staff about his condition, David Moyes will likely decide today whether or not to play. Edson demonstrated at his peak how vital he is to the team by scoring his first goal for the Hammers and setting up the goal for Mohammad Kudus. There would be concern if he missed the Wolves game, but ideally everything will work out fine.
The former Ajax player has greatly impressed Moyes, who says he has made an immediate impact and helped us achieve some significant results. We’ve seen some significant progress thanks to him.
He made this statement during the Wolves pregame press conference: “He’s settled in quickly.” He may still be adjusting to the Premier League’s intensity and quantity of games, in my opinion.
For example, international players may not be accustomed to playing during this time of year. However, he’s settling in nicely and doing great.
We need to check on Edson because he took a knock to the hip. When we see the players later today, we must evaluate them.
“Gary O’Neil has done a great job, and did a good job at Bournemouth as well,” Moyes continued, speaking about the Wolves game itself. These are opportunities that young coaches need, and I believe he’s doing a great job. Although Wolves appear to be under his control, we still have work to do.
