Wolves captain Conor Coady: We can handle Euro commitments

Wolves captain Conor Coady is adamant they have the energy to handle their Europa League qualifying campaign.

Nuno's team are back in action on Thursday when they face Armenia side Pyunik in the second leg of their Europa League qualifier.

Then next Monday they host Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Manchester United at Molineux, the first of five games in 14 days.

“We've got a European tie on Thursday, Man United on Monday, what more do you want for a football club?" skipper Coady said.

“We're excited by it and we'll make sure we're for it.

“Tiredness wasn't an issue at Leicester at all. We couldn't wait for the Premier League, we've been building up to that for many weeks now, we knew coming back from Armenia we had to recover quickly and we did, you saw on Sunday we were ready for a good game.

“There'd be a problem if we weren't fit and sharp – we've been in for that long!

“We've been in for a good few weeks now. We've prepared right, we've done it all right, we've used the Europa League games as preparation as well for the Premier League."
