Wolves sit bottom of the league after a dismal start and their luck does not get any better as they face a Newcastle side who have only lost two of the 20 meetings between the two clubs in the Premier League.
Strand Larsen will miss Newcastle clash
Pereira did not lighten the mood however as he delivered some disappointing news on striker Jorgen Strand Larsen.
"We are without Larsen, the injury was a bit more serious and he's trying to come back. He is not in a condition for the game. We want him back as soon as possible, but he's not training yet."
Strand Larsen is committed to the side after this summer
He also opened up on how close Strand Larsen was to leaving the club as he was ready to leave for Newcastle this summer.
"I don’t know, this is a question for the club and not for me.
"I really don’t know what happened but there were rumours and in the end he is happy and committed. The club and the player are talking about renewing his contract and I think he deserves it."
A new strike partnership
Finally, Pereira was asked whether he can see the Tolu Arokodare and Strand Larsen taking the field together as a new strike partnership in the future.
“Why not? We’ll see, they need to work together, and I need to see the result.”
