Picked up calf injury Boly (calf) has a calf injury and won't join Cote d'Ivoire for the African Cup of Nations, Wolves announced Monday.

Impact Boly picked up a calf injury and will be out for most of January as he recovers from the injury. There's generally controversy around players who don't travel to AFCON and making sure they really are injured. Boly's injury certainly seems to be real, though his absence won't change much.

Out with muscle injury Boly suffered a muscular injury over the break and will miss an unknown amount of time, according to manager Bruno Lage.

Held in reserve Boly (illness) will be available off the bench against Everton on Monday.

Impact Boly has yet to get onto the pitch for the club this season, so his absence is unlikely to have impacted the starting XI anyway. Still, the defender did start all 21 matches for the team last year and should get an opportunity sooner or later to claim a spot on the backline.

On bench against Man United Boly (hamstring) is in Wolves' match day squad for Sunday's clash against Manchester United.

Impact Boly has been out since July after suffering a hamstring injury during a preseason friendly, but he is fit enough to be back on the bench on Sunday. He might be able to return to the starting lineup after another two-week rest with the upcoming international break.

Pictured in training Boly (hamstring) was pictured in training Friday, though he's unlikely for Sunday's match against Manchester United.

Impact Unfortunately, manager Bruno Lage isn't very forthcoming in regards to injury updates, but these pictures don't reveal much. There's a chance Boly could simply be training on his own and kicking the ball around, meaning he's not ready to return from a hamstring injury.

Impact Boly started when healthy this season, but in addition to COVID-19, he also battled two separate hamstring injuries. He finished with one goal, one assist and six clean sheets in 21 starts, numbers he hopes to improve if healthy next campaign under a new manager.

Stays on bench Sunday Boly (rest) was on the bench for Sunday's loss against Tottenham.

Impact Boly was back in the squad Sunday, but he didn't see the pitch, something that could change Wednesday. Given his fatigue issues following COVID-19, it's likely he'll only start one more match this season and it may end up being the home finale against Man United.

MAY 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Back in group training Boly (rest) "has joined the group" but "still has individual issues" ahead of Sunday's trip to Tottenham, according to manager Nuno Espirito Santo.

Impact Boly is technically an option for Sunday, but it doesn't seem like he'll be ready to start after missing the last two matches because of COVID-19 after-effects. Even then, Espirito Santo seems to be giving his younger players more run. For now, Boly may only be available to start one more time this season.
