Cesar Peixoto has instilled his belief in 19-year-old Sean Neave, with the youngster given a golden opportunity now that he is set to feature against Burnley tomorrow evening.

Neave has only had 18 minutes of Championship football so far, but with a lack of options available due to injuries to both Adam Armstrong and Raul Jimenez, the Newcastle-born attacker looks set to start for Wolves against Burnley tomorrow.

“He is the player we have in this position, he is a player that hasn’t played a lot of minutes, we have to be clear with that,” Peixoto said. “He came as a third option because of Raul and Adam and we needed a young player to play some minutes in some games to help him grow up. With Raul injured and Adam’s problem in the back, this is a moment for Sean to show his quality, try to work for the team and do his best.
