The winger pulled up with a hamstring injury in the second half and needed to be stretchered off, although head coach Gary O’Neil revealed after the game they hope it is not serious.

And the in-form forward provided a positive update yesterday, as he revealed on social media he will only be out for a couple of weeks and vowed to return stronger.

Fellow star Hwang believes the squad is well placed to cope during Neto’s absence.

“We hope he’s OK because he’s such an important player for us, our thoughts are with him,” Hwang said.

“He’s an amazing player so it’s going to be very difficult to cover his performances.

“But we have many good players, such as Sasa (Kalajdzic), Fabio (Silva) and Pablo (Sarabia).
