This injury would keep the winger sidelined for ten months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The former Braga player made his return to the Molineux last month in a 2-1 victory against <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/02\/23\/james-justin-signs-contract-leicester-city\/\" target=\"_self\">Leicester City<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wolves technical director Scott Sellars spoke to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wolves.co.uk\/news\/mens-first-team\/20220309-neto-commits-to-new-wolves-contract\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wolves.co.uk<\/a> about Neto\u2019s injury. He said: \u201cIt was difficult for him, he had a setback along the way, but as Pedro always does, he got his head down and worked hard with a smile on his face. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;He\u2019s committed to being the best he can be and that shows with how quickly he\u2019s got back into his groove, but we think there\u2019s a lot more to come.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe spoke a lot about missing Pedro, so to see him back fit and happy, that\u2019s the most important thing. There\u2019s no pressure from us to be the player he was straight away \u2013 it\u2019s going to take some time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;He\u2019s been out for a long time, but we\u2019ve got no doubt he\u2019ll be back to the Pedro we know, whether that\u2019s towards the end of the season or the start of the next one, there\u2019s no rush, we just want to make sure he has minutes and is developing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Neto\u2019s New Contract<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sellars is delighted that Neto has committed his future to the club, he added: \u201cIt\u2019s great news for the football club and Pedro. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;It\u2019s a deserved reward for him. H<\/span>e\u2019s returned from injury and put in a lot of hard work to get back.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPedro came as a young player with a lot of potential and quickly proved the club had signed a top young talent. He\u2019s fulfilled that potential, become a full international, and an established Premier League player.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s a no-brainer for the club to retain its talent and hopefully it was a no-brainer for Pedro to stay longer and work hard in an environment he\u2019s comfortable and happy in. Pedro deserves it and we\u2019re really happy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neto will look to end the season strong with Wolves as the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/02\/20\/the-premier-league-season-is-set-for-the-most-dramatic-of-crescendos\/\" target=\"_self\">Premier League<\/a> enters the final run-in of matches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"tTe5OYCSRq5sJzikCP_1tw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1383476342\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'tTe5OYCSRq5sJzikCP_1tw',sig:'d07QfaA6VVfsyywMh3aewWIBk_LadESZhGUN-ixFLns=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1383476342',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wolverhampton Wanderers talent Pedro Neto has signed a new contract with the club.
