Jonny, a familiar face with 134 matches under his belt for Wolves, won’t be hitting the pitch for the upcoming Premier League clash with Burnley on Tuesday, as confirmed by Wolverhampton Wanderers’ skipper Gary O’Neil. The reason? A bit of a kerfuffle at the training ground.
Since his sub appearance in Wolves’ thrilling 2-1 victory over Manchester City in September, Jonny’s boots have been collecting dust. He was notably missing from the team sheet during the recent stumble at Arsenal’s home ground.
Shedding light on the situation, O’Neil mentioned, “There’s been a bit of a situation at training last week. It’s in the club’s hands now. For now, Jonny’s off the roster for the Burnley game, and for the foreseeable future. We’ll keep everyone in the loop once things change. As for the details, let’s just say it’s a club matter.”
Jonny’s journey with Wolves began with a loan spell from Atletico Madrid back in the summer of 2018. By January 2019, he was officially part of the pack. The 29-year-old, who’s on board until 2025, has had a quiet season, with only a trio of appearances – two in the Carabao Cup and a single Premier League outing.
The recent 2-1 defeat at the Emirates, following a loss at Fulham, has left Wolves sitting in 13th place, but with a comfy eight-point buffer from the relegation zone.
When prodded about the impact of training ground dramas on team morale and spirit, O’Neil opined, “Some friction can be good, but not this kind. This one’s for me and the club to handle. We’re steering the ship in a new direction and the Jonny situation is part of that process. Right now, my sights are set on Burnley.”

this is crazy, what happened at training with Jonny? Wolves really need him back asap, especially with their current form.
Jonny’s a solid player, hope he sorts whatever it is out and gets back on the pitch soon. Wolves ain’t the same without him.
