Wolves boss Nuno: We wanted to face Olympiakos fans

Wolves boss Nuno says they'll be ready for tonight's Europa League clash at Olympiakos.

Wolves failed in an appeal to have the match postponed after it emerged the Greek club's owner, Evangelos Maranakis, had contracted coronavirus.

Nuno said: “We are focused and we are ready. Let's go and compete.

“It's not what we wanted, we want to compete in a normal environment with a tough crowd that Olympiacos has - this is the way we love to compete.

“But the circumstances are that and it's up to us to focus and compete well in the game.

“I think I've already made my point, I think it doesn't make sense to play behind closed doors, but it's reality and we have to prepare ourselves."

Olympiacos are unbeaten in the Greek top flight this season and knocked out Arsenal in the previous round.

Nuno said: “It is going to be tough. The proof is the previous tie they had, we've been analysing and it's a very good team; quality players, a good manager that I know, and it's going to be tough, it's going to be very tough."
