Wolves boss O'Neil hints Doyle, Bueno could face Liverpool

Wolves boss Gary O'Neil admits new signings Tommy Doyle and Santi Bueno could see action today against Liverpool.

The pair arrived in the final week of the summer market last month.

On Doyle, O'Neil said: “He's fine and played a part in a training ground game we had. He felt fine.

“He hasn't played a lot of football since the Euros, but we're trying to get him up to speed and he's fit enough to be in and around the match day squad, which is a positive."

Meanwhile, O'Neil is also pleased with Bueno.

“He's a good footballer, good with the ball and has decent athleticism as well," O'Neil said. “I haven't seen a lot of him. He did a day with us before the Crystal Palace game and then he got a late call-up into the Uruguay squad.

“He only arrived today (on Friday) back into training, but he's important. It was important that we had four senior centre-backs firstly, and secondly it was important we managed to add a good one.

“He's real competition for the two that have the shirt at the moment."
