Diogo Jota out of Wolves' Europa League clash with Besiktas

Diogo Jota has been ruled out of Wolves' Europa League clash with Besiktas on Thursday.

The Portuguese forward has been nursing a toe injury that caused him to miss Saturday's win over Watford.

"It's a decision we made. We made it before and if we have to do it again we will," Wolves boss Nuno said.

"Basically we did it because of the jet lag and the different hour. If we train here, we have to go at 6am in the morning and it will affect the players so we considered it was the best option, that's why.

"We are here and we can rest. Tomorrow [Thursday] is a long day and we will go to the stadium in the morning and have lunch and then a team meeting and a rest and then travel on a bus to play the game."
