Wolves manager Gary O’Neil criticized Coventry boss Mark Robins for his celebration in front of a ball boy after Coventry dramatic 3-2 FA Cup victory. Robins apologized for his actions acknowledging the ball boy’s distress. Coventry late win securing their first FA Cup semi-final since 1987 was marred by the incident. 

Meanwhile, O’Neil confirmed that Wolves’ star player Pedro Neto is expected to be sidelined for two months due to a hamstring injury potentially ending his season. Neto injury occurred during a previous match and O’Neil emphasized the importance of ensuring his recovery.

The timing of Neto potential return aligns with Wolves’ final Premier League game of the season.
