Wolverhampton Wanderers are in big trouble after their new signing Rafiki Said picked up an MCL injury and will be out of action for at least two months. The winger is the most recent addition at Molineux this summer, after he arrived for a £7.7million fee from Standard Liege. However, after featuring for just 20 minutes against Maidenhead last week, he was withdrawn. Wolves have since confirmed the long-term nature of his injury, with the attacker now set to miss the start of the upcoming campaign. As a result, many fans are furious. Supporters were already divided on the signing, given his poor recent numbers, and now many feel that the club has wasted more money. The Old Gold outfit are aiming to return to the Premier League this season, but this task has just got a little bit harder for Cesar Peixoto.
