The 33-year-old goalkeeper suffered a head injury during Wolves’ last game against Liverpool way back on March 15th.
Express and Star reckon he will be fit to face the Hammers, however.
That is a huge boost for Wolves. West Ham would have really fancied their chances of beating the Black County outfit at Molineux without the former Sporting Lisbon ace between the sticks.
Patricio joined Wolves from Sporting in the summer of 2018 and has conceded 138 goals in 119 games. During those outings, he has kept 35 clean sheets (Transfermarkt).
Rui Patricio returning for West Ham game is a huge boost for Wolves
The 92-capped Portugal international’s importance to Wolves is clear and obvious to see.
West Ham will now have their work-out if they are to beat Nuno Espirito Santo’s side on Monday night.
David Moyes’s men will have to be on their very best form. The Hammers have really impressed this season on the whole.
We desperately need to bounce back from our draw against Arsenal with three points against Wolves, however, if we are to keep our top four hopes alive.
And West Ham’s chances of doing just that will have taken a hit with the news that Rui Patricio will be fit and available for selection for Monday’s game.
