# Wolves: Jonny ‘a doubt’ for Arsenal clash with ‘hamstring strain’

**Express & Star reporter Liam Keen has shared the news that Jonny is ‘a doubt’ for [Wolverhampton Wanderers](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/)‘ game against Arsenal tonight with a ‘hamstring strain’.**

### The Lowdown: Substituted against Leeds

The 28-year-old came off in the 1-0 win at home to Leeds United in the Carabao Cup in midweek after picking up an [injury](https://www.sofascore.com/leeds-united-wolverhampton/dsJ), casting doubt over his availability for tonight.

However, at least Nelson Semedo will be available, having [served his suspension](https://www.wolves.co.uk/news/mens-first-team/20221111-talking-points-wolves-vs-arsenal/#:~:text=Semedo%E2%80%99s%20suspension%20was%20just%20one%20match%2C%20so%20he%20could%20return%20to%20the%20fore%20against%20the%20Gunners) on Wednesday night after picking up a red card in the 3-2 defeat at home to Brighton and Hove Albion in the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) last weekend, so Steve Davis has one returning option who can play in the full-back positions.

### The Latest: Jonny ‘a doubt’ to face Arsenal

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/LiamKeen_Star/status/1591053185585917952), Keen has shared an injury update from Davis on Jonny from Wolves’ pre-match press conference, stating that the Spaniard is ‘a doubt’ with a ‘hamstring strain’.

The journalist tweeted this line from the Old Gold’s interim boss: *“Everyone is OK. Jonny is a doubt with a hamstring strain.”*

### The Verdict: Not ideal

If Jonny is out, it looks like Semedo is going to play at right-back against the Gunners tonight.

That is certainly not ideal as they are likely to come up against left-winger Gabriel Martinelli, who, like the rest of Mikel Arteta’s team, has made a great start to the season with five goals and two assists in the top flight so far ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/gabriel-martinelli/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/655488/plus/0?saison=2022&verein=11&liga=&wettbewerb=GB1&pos=&trainer_id=)).

Nor does it help that, aside from his red card against Brighton, Semedo has [had his form questioned](https://www.footballfancast.com/wolves-news/wolves-steve-davis-nelson-semedo-brighton-leandro-trossard) at Molineux this season, having also been branded a defensive “[liability](https://twitter.com/TimSpiers/status/1349096094303727621?s=20&t=LLvEPoCLNrvJxadHed9z3Q)” in the past by Tim Spiers.

Nonetheless, it will be a tough ask to get anything against high-flying Arsenal, a task which will likely be made even harder if Jonny is unavailable.
