Fer Lopez as happy for team-mate as he is himself after goalscoring return from injury

Fer Lopez was as happy for himself as team-mate Tawanda Chirewa to get on the scoresheet in Wednesday night’s victory at Doncaster Rovers.

After Lopez opened the scoring in the 81st minute, Chirewa doubled that advantage four minutes later as Wolves won 2-0 at Club Doncaster Sports Village to continue their pre-season preparations.

And Lopez - who has spent part of pre-season on the treatment table - was happy to see the youngster make his mark.

He said: “It’s really good for Tawanda to get the second goal. Totally.

“He’s a very good guy, he works very hard, and I’m very happy for him – that’s why everyone left the penalty for him.”

Reflecting on his own strike, Lopez said: “I think it was a good finish, not the best, because the goalkeeper touched it, so I nearly missed, but it was good that it went in.”

The Spaniard comes up against opposition from his home country this weekend - and is expecting a tough test against a side who won promotion from La Liga 2 last season.

Lopez - who spent the second half of last season on loan at Celta Vigo in La Liga - said: “I’m looking forward to playing at Molineux again, totally, and against a Spanish team as well.

“I didn’t play against them [Racing Santander] last year, because they got promoted, but it’s always good to play.

“I know that they play very good football, very attacking, with a lot of combinations, but I cannot tell you a lot more because I didn’t play against them last season, but they are very, very good team, and we will see how we do this weekend.”
