Wolves defender Matt Doherty has won praise from manager Nuno for his commitment.

Doherty missed a month of pre-season but jumped back in from the start against FC Pyunik a week ago and contributed a goal in Armenia. The Irishman then retained his shirt for the return of the Premier League at Leicester City three days later.

Nuno said, “He had a problem in pre-season, he was different from the squad, but he didn't stop totally, so we were able to work him in the physical aspects and he had a fantastic answer in both games.

“He made a big effort for the team, it was fantastic from him to us, it was a big help."
