Wolves International Break Report

Wolves International Break Report

Wolverhampton Wanderers had eight players representing their nations during the September international break, reflecting the growing international spread within the team. Below is a breakdown of how each player performed during international duty.

David Møller Wolfe - Norway

Wolfe enjoyed a memorable break in Norway. He played the full 90 minutes in their stunning 11-1 win against Moldova, even grabbing an assist for Erling Haaland's fifth goal. In the first game, a 1-o win over fellow Scandinavians Finland, he put in a disciplined defensive display and managed 78 minutes and a clean sheet.

Fer LĂłpez - Spain U21

LĂłpez played in both games of Spain's U21 Euro qualifiers. The first game was a 3-0 win over Cyprus U21, where he made an appearance from the bench in the 59th minute and helped close out the game for the final half an hour. In the 3-1 win over Kosovo U21, he started and played 80 minutes and provided the assist for the opening goal. An impressive international appearance, and Wolves fans will be hoping to see him make an appearance for the senior squad in the future.

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde - Haiti

Bellegard was involved in both Haiti's World Cup qualifiers, the first a 0-0 draw with Honduras, where he was deployed as a box-to-box midfielder, a potential mistake instead of using him further up the pitch. Bellegard then played 90 minutes in a thrilling 3-3 draw with Costa Rica

Tawanda Chirewa and Marshall Munetsi - Zimbabwe

Chirewa played 81 minutes in a 1-0 loss to Benin, while Munetsi was not included in the match-day squad. The duo both played the full game in another 1-0 loss, this time against Rwanda. This leaves Zimbabwe at the bottom of their qualifying group.

Jackson Tchatchoua - Cameroon

Tchatchou was an unused substitute in Cameroon's 3-0 win over Eswatini, and then played the full 90 minutes in a 1-0 loss to Cape Verde. Cameroon still look likely to qualify as they sit second in their group.

Tolu Arokodare - Nigeria

Tolu scored the only goal of the game against Rwanda and was a substitute in a 1-1 draw against South Africa, where he was unable to turn the game in Nigeria's favour after being introduced in the second half.

Jhon Arias - Columbia

Arias played for an hour in Colombia's 3-0 win over Bolivia and made an appearance from the bench in the 77th minute in a 6-3 victory over Venezuela. Columbia has already qualified for the World Cup after gaining 28 points in 18 games.

Emmanuel Agbadou - Ivory Coast

Agbadou was an unused substitute in both games, a 1-0 win over Burundi and a 0-0 draw with Gabon.

José Sà - Portugal

Sá was also an unused substitute in both of Portugal's games. Portugal managed a 5-0 win over Armenia and a 3-2 win over Hungary.

Matt Doherty - Republic of Ireland

Doherty played 66 minutes in the opening game, a 2-2 draw with Hungary, and was an unused substitute for the 2-1 loss to Armenia

Santiago Bueno - Uruguay

Bueno was an unused substitute in both games. Uruguay won 3-0 against Peru and drew 0-0 with Chile.

The international break has brought mixed fortunes for the Wolves players. New signings like Wolfe, LĂłpez, and Arokodare impressed with goals, assists, and full games, but others had a quieter couple of weeks without featuring at all.

The week has offered important experience across the squad, and several players will return to Molineux with confidence boosted after their international contributions, something that may be needed as Wolves look ahead to their Premier League game against Newcastle.
