Wolves striker Sasa Kalajdzic targets Man Utd opener

Wolves striker Sasa Kalajdzic hopes to be fit for the season opener against Manchester United.

The Austria suffered a knee injury just 45 minutes into his Wolves debut last season.

He was on the training pitch at Compton this week and Kalajdzic said: “I would love to have a timeframe so I can tell everyone because you always get the same questions every day, but I hope that I can be fit for the start of the season and can make as much of the pre-season as possible.

“There are a lot of factors which can impact it, so I don't want to put too much pressure on it, but I'm in a good way which is the most important thing.

“If you put yourself under pressure and try to force things, then things can go wrong and you don't perform as you want to, so the most important thing is to try to be as natural as possible, work hard, and if you do everything right it will go in your favour."

He also said: “It was pretty tough when you come to a new club and get injured in the first game. It was absolutely not what anyone expected, or no-one would have believed it would happen, but I tried to make the best out of it.

“It was difficult in the beginning, but everyone tried to make it easy for me, but a new country, a new culture, I speak the language so that was ok, but it was tough.

“It was tough especially in the beginning, but I got used to it and I tried to make the best out of it and I tried to make the best of me so I could attack next season."
