Wolves striker Sasa Kalajdzic delighted with comeback performance

Wolves striker Sasa Kalajdzic was delighted to see action in their 0-0 preseason draw with Luton.

It was Kalajdzic's first minutes since a knee injury suffered almost a year ago.

"In the beginning I didn't even think about it but after I got out I was realising and I was just smiling and very relieved," the Austrian said after seeing 68 minutes.

"Just happy that everything went well. Right now it's just the joy and relief of being back.

"I was just trying to soak it up. I was focused, I was in my own tunnel. As soon as I had my first touched I was just trying to enjoy it, and I did.

"For me it (the match against Luton) is crucial because now I've had a good pre-season. I couldn't do all the things the others have done because sometimes you have to take me out because it's too much.

"I think this was the best game I could have had right now in my situation. It was an amazing test for the physicality, the pace and everything. I played 68 minutes so it's getting more and more."
