Wolves and West Brom warn fans over behaviour after trouble at last derby
The clubs issue a statement ahead of Sunday's meeting after trouble flared when the teams last met.
Wolves forward Raul Jimenez will miss the upcoming Black Country derby against West Bromwich Albion due to a left knee injury. The Mexico international was substituted in the 7th minute of the Carabao Cup match against Everton on Wednesday. Wolves manager Cesar Peixoto stated that Jimenez's injury is not severe, but the team is disappointed as he is a crucial player.
Jimenez, who has scored three goals since returning to Wolves this summer, has yet to participate in a Black Country derby, having missed the previous two derbies in 2020-21 due to a fractured skull. Peixoto acknowledged that Jimenez had to play to maintain his form for the upcoming fixture. Wolves currently trail Albion by three points in the league, but with a game in hand.
West Brom are without wingers Mikey Johnston and defender Nolan Galves, who are both injured. However, striker Brayann Pereira is available after serving his one-game suspension.
