Mario Lemina has shown his leadership once more, by sending a public message of support to one of his Wolves teammates who has just suffered a cruel setback.
Lemina was named the new club captain at Molineux ahead of the recent pre-season friendly with West Ham United, and it is a decision that has gone down very well with the fanbase.
Lemina was voted the Supporters’ Player of Season for 2023/24. Arguably, that had just as much to do with his leadership as it did with his performances.
The midfielder is an avid user of Instagram and is always putting out supportive messages. Even after Wolves have lost games.
He is also a big supporter of his teammates, and yesterday he had a message of support for Enso Gonzalez following his awful injury setback.
Mario Lemina sends message to Enso Gonzalez after Wolves youngster suffered ACL injury
There have been a number of Wolves players who have suffered ACL injuries in recent years.
Former wing-back Jonny Castro Otto suffered two during his time at Molineux.
Sasa Kalajdzic has also suffered two at Wolves, with his first coming on his debut just days after making his move to the club from Stuttgart.
Winger Chiquinho also suffered one in a behind-closed-doors friendly match against Burnley in 2022.
And now, Enso Gonzalez is the latest player to suffer a serious knee injury. He did it while playing for Paraguay against Israel at the Olympics, being stretchered off after 14 minutes.
An early claim was made that Gonzalez could be looking at around six months out. The player is due for surgery.
