Wolves boss Nuno talks Cutrone, Traore after FC Pyunik victory

Wolves boss Nuno was delighted with their Europa League defeat of FC Pyunik.

Wolves won the first-leg of their qualifier 4-0, with Raul Jimenez grabbing a brace.

Nuno said, "We knew it was going to be a tough game, and they started the game very strong, created us a lot of problems, but it's a good team with good players, and that was the time for us to be organised, be patient and stay in shape.

“After that we managed well and started moving the ball and trying to create gaps and spaces, but it's not over. We still have one game to go, but it's a good team."

On debutant Patrick Cutrone, he added: “He's integrating, but it takes time. Every new player who comes to our team needs time. We have to keep on going with him. His adaptation into the squad has been great, he has been received well into the group and it's important that he continues to improve and get inside the dynamics of the team.

“But more important is the way he believes in the terms of discipline and ambitions; he's going along with that so I'm happy."

Nuno also explained the absence of Adama Traore.

He added:"Traore had a problem with his passport, so he couldn't travel. He didn't know and it was impossible for him to travel with his ID card outside the European Union, so he didn't travel with us.

“He'll join us for the next game."
