# Wolves: These fans want Romain Saiss to come into the team for suspended Willy Boly

**Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo will have to plan without Willy Boly for their next Premier League game against Chelsea after the 28-year-old was [sent off against Everton on Sunday](https://www.skysports.com/football/everton-vs-wolves/report/408015).**

With the [France-born defender](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/willy-boly/profil/spieler/142310) [suspended for the visit of the Blues to Molineux](https://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/discipline/suspensions), Wolves Live on Twitter ([@WolvesFC\_latest](https://twitter.com/WolvesFC_latest/status/1168496952679567360)) asked supporters whether they think Romain Saiss or Jesus Vallejo should take his place at centre-back.

Vallejo, who is a [natural centre-back replacement for Boly](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jesus-vallejo/profil/spieler/251896), has [started three games for Wolves in the Europa League qualifiers](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jesus-vallejo/leistungsdaten/spieler/251896) since [joining on loan from Real Madrid](https://www.wolves.co.uk/news/first-team/20190727-vallejo-joins-from-real-madrid/) in the summer, but has [yet to make his Premier League debut](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jesus-vallejo/leistungsdaten/spieler/251896).

Saiss [plays primarily as a defensive midfielder](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/romain-saiss/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/204198) but has [occasionally deputised at centre-back](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/romain-saiss/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/204198), having [played there nine times for Nuno’s side last season](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/romain-saiss/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/204198/saison//verein/0/liga/0/wettbewerb//trainer_id/0/pos/3), with one of those coming in a [1-1 draw against Chelsea](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/romain-saiss/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/204198/saison//verein/0/liga/0/wettbewerb//trainer_id/0/pos/3) in the league six months ago.

These Wolves fans feel that the [Morocco international](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/romain-saiss/profil/spieler/204198) should be chosen ahead of Vallejo to deputise at centre-back for Boly against Chelsea:
