Wolves should use midfielder Romain Saiss against Cardiff

Wolverhampton Wanderers travel to Cardiff City on Friday night in the Premier League and manager Nuno Espirto Santo should be demanding a response after the 2-0 defeat against Huddersfield.

It may be worth Nuno freshening up the pack for Friday, as several of their players looked off the pace against Huddersfield and need a wake-up call despite a decent start to the season.

Romain Saiss has been an outcast of the squad so far this campaign, with just two substitute appearances in the Premier League and two starts in the Carabao Cup under his belt.

But Wolves should bring the 28-year-old back into the fold and spring a surprise on Cardiff.

The Morocco international has been on the fringes this term and should be desperate to make the most of any opportunity.

Saiss is a no-nonsense enforcer that played a key role in promotion from the Championship last season

The defensive midfielder would provide some extra steel in the centre of the park and that could be needed against a physical Cardiff outfit.

He is usually a dependable figure in the midfield and his patience should be rewarded with a rare start, while the likes of Ruben Neves and Joao Moutinho can’t be allowed to become complacent.
