Wolves boss Lage happy with Raul, Traore Cup impact

Wolves manager Bruno Lage hopes Tuesday's win over Preston will boost the confidence of Raul Jimenez and Adama Traore.

Both players scored as Wolves booked their place in the Carabao Cup third-round.

Asked how important the goals will be to those two individuals, Lage said: "It's very important.

"Adama started pre-season well and scored one goal against Forest Green in our first game. After, he had a little problem and needed to stop.

"I was so happy with Raul, the way he started pre-season with two games and two goals. I think we missed him in the first three games. With him, we have a reference in front.

"It's important for them to have confidence, but more important it's for everyone to get involved in the atmosphere of Molineux and have more minutes with the team."
